We are kicking off summer volunteer days starting this Saturday!
We are looking for hands-on volunteers to join us for our upcoming Monument Restoration Workdays! If you love local history and want to give back to the community, we need your help to carefully clean and re-set headstone markers across our historic 200+ acres.
This is a wonderful way to honor those resting here and keep Springdale beautiful for generations to come.
Learn more and sign up for one of our upcoming volunteer days here.

Spring Update on our Valentine’s Day Bees! 🐝🥰
Do you remember the bee hive we found in a fallen tree on our grounds this past February?
We have a beautiful update!
The bees were successfully transported by local professionals @PeoriaHoneyCo, where they quickly left the fallen log they were living in to join one of the colonies on a property with a new queen to serve.
We are so happy to have such great partners in the area that share our love and respect for nature. If you ever come across a bee hive on your property, please contact Peoria Honey Co.to safely remove the bees. They have a fabulous property for bees to thrive and great homemade honey and bee products, too!
Nature and wildlife are a huge part of what
makes our grounds so peaceful. Come out and enjoy a spring walk through the cemetery soon!
