Rehabilitation of Monfort Cemetery Continues
The History Center at the Port Washington Public Library, in collaboration with the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society and the Town of North Hempstead, continues efforts to restore the historic Monfort Cemetery.
Representatives from the library, including head archivist Liz Agramonte, archivists Amanda Hellburg and Joey Venutra, and Head of Computer and Technology Services Melanie Davidoff, joined Town Historian and Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society trustee Ross Lumpkin in cleaning headstones and lifting fallen stones.
Their efforts coincided with a recent Cub Scout flag-planting ceremony at the site. Also known as the Old Dutch Cemetery, Monfort Cemetery contains gravestones dating back to the 1730s.
