About us

            The Wayne County Cemetery Preservation Society (WCCPS) is an organization whose purpose is to find, record, photograph, and protect endangered cemeteries.  It is a non-profit grassroots effort consisting of hardworking and dedicated volunteers.  Activities can include digging, probing to find headstones, deciphering of writing on tombstones, photography, and obtaining genealogical information.  Meetings are held once a month, usually at the Wayne County Public Library.  WCCPS has a working relationship with the Program in Archaeology at The College of Wooster; students assist in recording and mapping cemeteries, GPS readings, and locating tombstones.
