I am the president of the McCann Cemetery Association and we would like to erect a historical marker. We are already designated "historic" by the state. Can you help me proceed with this?
Thanks!

Diane, I have forwarded your email to the members of the MCHC and I'm sure you'll be hearing from some of them.
There is a good site for the procedure found at
