WISCASSET — “One Stone at a Time: Restoration and Conservation of Ancient Burial Grounds,” a free online lecture, is set for 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 30.
Dave Probert will talk about his restoration and conservation work in historic cemeteries. After he retired from a long career at Bath Iron Works, he joined the association as a volunteer.
Probert helped with the Pownalborough Court House trail system before beginning to work in the historic cemetery, then becoming a museum docent, co-chair of the Pownalborough Court House Stewardship Committee, and a trustee helping to steer the organization.
Probert’s hours spent in historic cemeteries, conserving one stone at a time, have yielded fascinating stories about how he approaches the work and what he learns along the way, according to a news release from the association.
This lecture is free and open to all. A $5 suggested donation helps the association cover costs with its free lecture series.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
