Anyone driving on Greenbush Road past Barber Cemetery (West Burial Ground) on Sunday morning, Aug. 27, probably noticed some activity. A sign announced that the Vermont Old Cemetery Association was at work again. VOCA, a nonprofit devoted to the restoration and preservation of neglected and abandoned cemeteries in the State of Vermont, sponsored a second gravestone-restoration working session at Barber Cemetery.
Earlier this summer, under the watchful eye of master stone mason Pete Demick, trained volunteers from Vermont Old Cemetery Association (VOCA) were instructed on state-of-the-art techniques to right and repair vulnerable antique stones in the West Burying Ground on Greenbush Road.
