Partnership studies environmentally friendly cleaner on historic monument

Misting heads apply water to the top of the Macomb Monument

NCPTT and the NPS Historic Preservation Training Center (HPTC) are partnering with the Veterans Administration's National Cemetery Administration to complete cleaning treatment studies on the U.S. Arsenal Monument in Historic Congressional Cemetery. Based on research and training by NCPTT's Jason Church, HPTC staff will undertake intermittent misting cleaning of the Arsenal Monument during November. This novel treatment is environmentally friendly, uses no chemical cleaners, and requires fewer resources than other treatments.
