Rowan Cemetery was created in the 1800’s and has several Civil War Graves. The cemetery is non-profit and is maintained by a board to oversee the care and upkeeping of the graves and cemetery grounds.
As we enter the spring season, the cemetery will once again need mowing and w**ding each week.
Next week the board will be sending out letters asking for donations to support the care and keeping of the cemetery for 2025.
