The trip will highlight the Federation’s efforts to restore the historic Bisbee-Douglas Jewish Cemetery. Along with the cemetery, participants will visit the Douglas-Williams House Museum and meet with the head of the Douglas Arizona Historical Society, Cindy Hayostek. JHM scholar-in-residence Max Greenberg will give a presentation, and Thomas Sayler-Brown of SBBL Architecture and Planning will discuss the cemetery restoration efforts.
The cost of the trip is $75, which includes lunch. Space is limited. The bus departs from the museum, 564 S. Stone Ave. at 8 a.m. and returns by 5 p.m. RSVP at www.jfsa.org/jhmdouglastrip or contact Gail Barnhill at gbarnhill@jfsa.org or 577-9393.
