Update on Cemetery and other Clean-up Projects

Peach Park Cemetery – Little Creek Dam Road

During 2009 we continued our clean-up and improvements to Peach Park Cemetery. Robert E. Lee trees were purchased and planted across the back border as well as Japanese maples on the side and in the front. 

Sunnyside Cemetery – Forge Road

Our Camp continues to care for Sunnyside Cemetery and the Confederate Ancestors buried there. 

2009 Projects

Cowles-Spencer – Theodore Allen Road / Longhill Road

We moved through this site in one afternoon with the help of several compatriots and friends of the camp, another success story. Future plans are to find some good, used, affordable chain-link fencing to replace the existing fencing that is damaged. If we can locate reasonable fencing, we will replace it next winter during a scheduled work day.

Fort Magruder- Penniman Road

Our first clean-up day was very productive on the redoubt. The brush was cut and cleared, hauled away and one tree was cut into smaller sections and removed. Work is progressing on re-setting the flag poles and will be completed in the near future. Another work day was held on March 28 and will conclude our clean-up efforts at the Fort for this year.

2010 Cemetery and Clean-up Projects
 
2010 started with cleanup projects at Ft. Magruder and Cowles-Spencer Cemetery. Camp Compatriots with volunteers from two Boy Scout Troops, Williamsburg Troop 103 and the Croaker Lone Scouts converged on the Fort two Saturdays in January for winter maintenance. Trees were trimmed, brush cleared, trash removed and brush clearing was started on the berms. We will have two more clean-up days at the Fort on February 13 and 20th. James City Cavalry's goal is to have the Fort in presentation form for the upcoming 150 year Sesquicentennial.
 
Camp Compatriots held a work day at Cowles-Spencer Cemetery off of Theodore Allen Road in January, clearing brush, trees, removing trash and re-setting one of the broken headstones.
 
Peach Park Cemetery continues to be one of our perpetual projects and in January we installed a new larger First National Flag. The flag can be seen from all directions standing proudly over the grave of Lt. Col. James Harvey Allen of the 5th Virginia Cavalry (James City Cavalry) who is buried there.
