On Wednesday, September 30, 2020, the Friends of Bosque Bello will be hosting Atlas Preservation’s 48 State Tour. This will be an interactive workshop in Bosque Bello Cemetery to demonstrate some of the most common conservation treatments utilized in monument preservation.

The workshop will include:
  • A discussion on historic preservation with a focus on masonry, cemeteries and gravestones;
  • A short walk and talk tour, visually surveying some of the most historic gravestones and monuments which need repair;
  • Cleaning demonstrations showcasing
    • Safe and effective removal of biological activity with D/2 Biological Solution; and
    • Graffiti removal with Elephant Snot and graffiti prevention discussion.
  • Overview for rust and lime / calcium removal from irrigation staining; and

After the cleaning demonstration, workshop participants are encouraged to adopt a gravestone and perform the cleaning process.

Some of the conservation treatments demonstrated will include:
  • Joining a fractured tablet;
  • Raising and/or leveling a badly leaning, sunken or fallen tablet stone;
  • Resetting and joining elements of a multiple piece monument;
  • Discussing problems associated with portland cement;
  • Discussing historic pointing mortars, formulations, applications, curing; and
  • A lifting tripod will be constructed and demonstrated, time permitting.

This workshop is free to the public and will be held from 9AM-3:30 PM at Bosque Bello Cemetery (1320 N. 14th St. Fernandina Beach). Please bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and insect repellent.

Please join us. Watch, listen, learn, or help.
