Adopt a Gravestone program Preserve and honor history and ancestors The Adair Heritage Association and the Adair County Public Library have given their support to the Silent City 'Adopt A Gravestone' program. Grave markers can fall into disrepair due to advanced age, lack of local family, and lack of funding, as well as weather or vandalism. Adopt a Gravestone is a grass-roots program to encourage care and repair of older markers that need attention. Adoptions by an individual, group, organization, or family are encouraged. There is no need to be related by blood or marriage, just a love of community and history. There are plenty of stones to adopt. We ask that you secure an adoption form at the Adair County Public Library, 307 Greensburg St, Columbia, KY. Fill it out and return it to us. Cemetery funds exist, but go almost entirely to mowing and grounds upkeept. There is no budget for stone repair, cleaning, resetting, etc. Adopt a Gravestone asks that you choose an older marker to care for and support restoration. One that you are willing to restore personally or donate a sum to have repaired and reset. You are under no legal obligation. However, we do ask that you follow the guidelines for cleaning and restoration supported by the National Parks Service, which advocates "do no harm to markers." More info at nps.gov.
