LEWISTOWN — With the help of students, sponsors, and volunteers, the African American Memorial Cemetery has taken another step towards restoration.
A new archway to the cemetery was constructed by students from The Mifflin County Academy of Science and Technology’s welding and fabrication departments.
Through the donation of concrete from Juniata Concrete, the volunteer installation was carried out by Criter-Mitchell Construction.
