9:00 AM - Noon (or usually later)

All activities are at the Hebrew Cemetery

Volunteers will meet on Sunday morning around 9:00 AM at the Hebrew Cemetery for a light breakfast before working in the cemetery. Lunch is served after the cleanup and after a brief memorial service.

If you choose come ahead of Sunday's cleanup, you are welcome to visit the Leadville attractions, take a drive through the mining district on the east side, drive through the forests, around Turquoise lake, and the mountains, and take a walk through the historic downtown areas are nice activities to do while visiting Leadville.

After the Temple Israel Foundation’s acquisition of the Hebrew Cemetery in 1993, restoration of the cemetery became the primary objective after nearly seven decades of neglect. The first several years were dedicated to clearing massive overgrowth, reestablishing a perimeter fence with entrance arch, identifying graves, and replacing missing markers. B’nai B’rith Denver’s considerable volunteer and financial support accomplished all of the goals. From the beginning, Temple Israel has hosted annual “cleanup” weekends at the end of June to repair damage inflicted by Leadville’s harsh winters.
