Volunteers help clean up Magnolia Cemetery in Augusta

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Organizers of a Magnolia Cemetery cleanup say hundreds of people showed up all ages to help clean up the historic site.

From 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, volunteers showed up with brooms, shovels and other supplies to help. The land houses five Jewish cemeteries and a Greek cemetery along with a Masonic lodge and several church sections.

“It’s such a peaceful place,” said Kevin de l’Aigle. “It’s such a place of solace in this crazy world we live in. It’s a great place to come and just find some peace and walk around among the beautiful grounds. For me, I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, so it’s more like a park. I mean, all my ancestors, my dad’s buried here. But for me, it’s just like I get a sense of peace here that I don’t get anywhere else.”

And recently, a woman from Boston donated $25,000 to the cemetery.

The Magnolia Cemetery is home to a crepe Myrtle that’s said to be the oldest tree in the state of Georgia.
