We are planning a wonderful 2007 Woodland Cemetery Decoration Day (Memorial Day) ceremony in conjunction with the Soldiers' & Sailors' Monument.  For the Decoration Day ceremony at Woodland Cemetery we are restoring two gravesites of notable Civil War veterans.

Also, we will be placing flags on the veterans graves on Memorial Sunday (May 27th) at 9:00am with a small service.  Come help us honor nearly 2,100 veterans from the War of 1812 to a recent veteran burial in 2004.

Woodland Cemetery turned 150-years old June 14, 2003.  The ceremony was wonderful and all had a great time.  You can see the schedule of events and learn about Woodland's 150th Anniversary.

Wednesday May 24, 2006 The Memorial Day Association and many volunteers placed flags on veteran graves in Woodland Cemetery.  Channel 3 (WKYC) was very kind to air our efforts and the Cleveland Plain Dealer wrote an article appearing in the May 25th edition.  See the video from Channel 3.
