With the support of a grant from the Robert D.L. Gardiner Foundation to the Roslyn Landmark Society, the first phase of the restoration of the historic Townsend Cemetery has been completed.
Burying Ground Preservation Group and the Stewart Preservation Services have restored 16 headstones and 11 footstones of the 31 interments in the burying ground. The Town of North Hempstead's Highways Department did a wonderful job clearing the right-of-way and this historic burying ground.
Here are several "Then & Now" images documenting the restoration.
