Preserve Elmwood/Pinewood Update
The railroad is NOT coming through the cemetery!!! CATS and Norfolk and Southern came to an "understanding" regarding track separation, thus eliminating the need to use cemetery land.
Persons interested in more information or receiving a walking tour brochure should contact Lynn Weis at weis@carolina.rr.com.
PEP will attempt to gather support for the development of a cemetery master plan. The plan will describe the steps necessary to fund monument restoration and preservation, support community cultural and educational activities, support an on-site caretaker and renovate the gardener's house.
PEP (Preserve Elmwood/Pinewood) is a joint committee formed by Historic Charlotte, Inc. and Friends of Fourth Ward, Inc.
