2026 Wake County Genealogical Society Virtual Meetings - next - May 26, 2026

Tuesday, May 26, 2026 @ 6:30pm – Virtual

Topic: Preserving Small Family Cemeteries

Speaker: Joel Hobby

The preservation of the McCuller Cemetery located off of Donnybrook Rd in southern Wake County has come a long way since the idea was born in 2022. From a nearly invisible resting place covered in brambles at risk from a looming development project, it has emerged as a neat, cared for cemetery with a historical marker and volunteers dedicated to keeping it visible and historically relevant. Come here the story of the McCuller process from idea, to strategic planning, fund raising, historical research, and volunteering. Joel is a McCuller descendent and will share his experiences.
