New Genealogy service offered

The Mitchell Area Genealogy Society (MAGS) has undertaken a new project to photograph the 14,000 + tombstones in Graceland Cemetery, and eventually photograph all stones in Davison County.
As of June 17th we have photographed 10,000 stones in Graceland.
To see if your relative/ancestor’s stone has been photographed and to order a copy contact the Carnegie Resource Center rangep@mitchellcarnegie.org
or call 605-996-3209,
or snail mail:
Carnegie Resource Center,

PO Box 263,

Mitchell, SD 57301.

The charge is $10 for the first photograph (either e-mailed or printed), and $5 for each additional photograph (any stone) placed with the same order. Credit Cards are accepted. All monies from this project will help support the Carnegie Resource Center.

WE DID IT!!

We made our goal of $76,000 to replace the roof, add insulation, and take the old A/C off the roof and install a new high efficiency A/C on the ground. The work started Monday September 22nd and you are more than welcome to stop by to see the progress.

Also a very special thank you to those that donated and helped us meet our goal. It is much appreciated!

BUT!

Just because we have met our goal doesn’t mean we stop raising money, there is many more projects that need to be done in the future:

Fix/Replace all of the windows

Make the building handicap accessible (which includes adding an elevator and ramps)

Fix/replace lighting and lighting control in gallery

And many other small projects that we need your help to complete!

Again thank you to those that donated and thanks to everyone that spread the word!
