The historic Hooper-McWilliams family cemetery was adopted by The River Line Historic Area on September 6, 2016. It is located next to the McDonough Georgia Power Plant near the Chattahoochee River on South Cobb Drive within the Riverview Memorial Park Cemetery.

We need a limited number of adult volunteers (16 years or older) to maintain this cemetery by replacing invasive vegetation with native plants.  Do you have native plants growing in your yard to share? If so, bring them with a jug of water to get them established.  They will have a safe new home here!
Need help identifying native plants? You can find them on The Georgia Native Plant Society page here: https://gnps.org/plants/  

If you can help, send a RSVP note to [email protected] and more details will be sent in return. Appropriate attire includes gloves, long pants, sturdy shoes, socks and hat. A long sleeve cover up shirt will protect arms from scratches and insects.  Bring your water bottle to keep hydrated.  If you have them, bring small hand pruners.

The pioneering Thomas Hooper family owned 531 acres along the Chattahoochee River in 1851.

September 23 we will finish installing numbered metal pins at each grave and use the remaining time to address vegetation growth.
