A volunteer effort to clean up the historic Nars Cemetery near Woolum in Searcy County is set for three days this week. Buffalo National River (BNR) park officials say in a social media post the cleanup is set for Monday through Wednesday. BNR says the Nars Cemetery is a historic treasure with headstones dating back to the mid-1800s.

Volunteers will help install new fencing and clean up brush to restore the cemetery.

Activities are weather dependent. Work will be paused or canceled in poor weather conditions.
