Hands down, fall is the best season at East End. Many thanks to our hardworking volunteers from @oakwoodarts and @vcu this morning! 📷@wokdocs

This Saturday at East End . . . #Repost @oakwoodarts with @get_repost ・・・ We have rescheduled our cyanotype workshop! ☀️Stop by Saturday November 17th at East End Cemetery and create your own square to add to our community quilt! We will be making fabric cyanotypes from 9am-12pm and holding a tour with Erin Hollaway Palmer and Brian Palmer from @friendsofeastend at 10:30am! Free for all ages!

In honor of Veterans Day, a photo @bxpnyc took two years ago of the newly uncovered headstone of World War I veteran Edgar Wooldridge (1894–1964), who served in France with Company B of the 545th Engineers Service Battalion. He returned to the United States aboard the U. S. S. Tiger, sailing into Brooklyn on June 27, 1919. 🇺🇸#veteransday #veterans #blackveterans #blacksoldiers #wwi #thisplacematters #rva #cemetery #honor #remember #memorialize #history #volunteer #community

Today’s work day was mostly sawing and hauling. Stunning fall weather and colors. Small but effective crew of gents from UR’s Lambda Chi; regulars @moe10232000 @mark.schmieder and John “Chainsaw” Shuck; and Izzy from VCU. We missed @audieme @wokdocs and @jc278201. @bxpnyc did the photos. 3 Nov. 2018 #eastendcemetery #thisplacematters #africanamericancemetery #rva #henrico #richmondva #autumn

Scenes from yesterday morning at #eastendcemetery. Special thanks to the returning @historynowvcu volunteers, who cleared a ton of summer weeds and excavated two deeply buried headstones. Greetings, Mr. Jordon and Mr. Wallace! #peoplepower #africanamericancemeteries #restoration #thisplacematters All 📷 by @bxpnyc

Two @urichmond biology professors were on-site today, and they promptly identified this neon-green creature as a tobacco hornworm. Kinda cool, kinda gross. #crittersofeastend #eastendcemetery 📷@wokdocs
