Citizens Cemetery Cleanup Mower Day

As a formerly segregated cemetery, Bristol's Citizens Cemetery has been overlooked for far too long. Let's join together, in community, and restore this great memorial to our towns storied past. We will not forget! This time we're going to focus on maintaining our progress and need mowers! The terrain is hilly and rocky, bring mowers at your own risk. You're also welcome to continue with weedeating and continuing the same work from previous clean up days.

We need:

● Lawn Mowers

● W**d-eating

● Hauling of weeds/branches


Items we provide include: Trash bags, work gloves, masks, and water.

Bring your own: lawn mowers, W**d eaters or hatchets, and a hard work ethic!

Let's work together to make Bristol a good place to live again!

The cemetery can be found on Google maps by simply searching “Citizen Cemetery, Bristol, VA” or you can type in 1560 Piedmont Ave., Bristol, VA 24201


Are you unable to donate your time or energy? Consider sharing to help promote the clean to others, a donation of supplies, or a financial contribution. Donations can be directed to 1458 Mary St., Bristol, VA 24201 in care of Bristol Citizens Cemetery


We have had a great turn out for the past two months and continue to make excellent progress in restoring the cemetery back to its former glory. Let's continue the good work and make it great!
