St. Paul's joined forces with Preservation Maryland and The Campaign for Historic Trades on November 5th to provide a free workshop on how to restore and preserve historic cemetery stones.. The turnout was a huge success as parishioners and guests alike learned valuable information on the care of historic sites. Many of the tombstones and headstones in St. Paul's cemetery date back to the early 1800's when the church was built.
