Preservation Maryland is pleased to announce the new class of Six-to-Fix projects. The Six-to-Fix program is an innovative impact-focused effort designed to help provide real solutions to big preservation challenges across the state.
Preservation Maryland and the State Highway Administration have entered into a partnership to document historic cemeteries across the state using a new mobile app. Attendees to the Old Line State Summit, on Wednesday, July 24, 2019 in Frederick, will have the opportunity to learn more about the project and see the app in-action.
Working with the Maryland Department of Transportation and the State Highway Administration, Preservation Maryland has embarked on an ambitious project to document 100 cemeteries and burial sites across the state.

Preservation Maryland actively supports the documentation and preservation of Maryland’s sacred burial sites and will co-host a free cemetery documentation training workshop in Anne Arundel County later this month.
Recently, Preservation Maryland has worked to document 100 cemeteries across the state in a partnership with the State Highway Administration and is now focusing on burial sites in Anne Arundel County.
These efforts have been supported by Preservation Maryland staff through the organization’s Six-to-Fix program that recognized Maryland’s cemeteries as a unique threatened historic resources — and has been working with our partners to find tools and solutions that work locally and at the state level.
Register Now: Join Preservation Maryland, the Anne Arundel County Cultural Resources Division, the Anne Arundel Genealogical Society, and the Coalition to Protect Maryland Burial Sites for a free half-day training workshop to learn how to document and report cemetery location and conditions.
This free training will include a presentation and in-the-field, hands-on practice. Attendees will be introduced to Anne Arundel County’s Preservation Stewardship Program and it’s new Six-to-Fix partnership with Preservation Maryland focused in the county. The goal is to prepare citizen volunteers in a countywide effort to better manage and protect cemeteries.
