The Sumter County Preservation Society was established with the aim of locating and restoring cemeteries in the Sumter County area. The organization discovered 16 cemeteries that are entirely unknown and have no details about them, as well as 16 others that are identified but lack site forms, which are documentation that indicates developers that there are dead bodies on the land. The Sumter County Preservation Society is searching for volunteers who are interested in genealogy, reading maps, carpentry, and grant writing, according to President Della Daughtry. All interested participants must be willing to actively participate and contribute to the whole project, according to Daughtry. Visit the official website (scpsfloria.square.site) for more detail about how to get involved.
