Support Hollowmere
Our trust fund cuts the grass. Everything else, from restoring 1850s marble to running free school tours, depends on people who love this place.
Current appeal
Save the Receiving Vault roof
The 1883 vault's slate roof has failed and its parapet is shifting. A heritage mason can save it, keeping the original slates and Moses Calder's iron hinges, for $120,000. Work starts in May 2027 if we reach the goal by March.

Adopt a stone
For stones with no family left to care
About 900 of our oldest markers have no living family we know of. Adopt one for $150 a year and you pay for its inspection, gentle cleaning and, when needed, resetting by our conservator. You'll get a photo and a short history of the person it remembers.
So far 214 stones have been adopted, many by schools and local businesses.
