Preserving a Landmark

In October 2025, Claquato Cemetery became the proud caretaker of the Claquato Church. Although the structure is remarkably intact for its age, years of weather, disuse, and time have created urgent preservation needs. Our goal is to restore the church with respect, integrity, and transparency — honoring its original craftsmanship while ensuring safety and longevity.

Current Priorities

• Structural stabilization

• Roof and steeple assessment

• Window and siding repair

• Electrical updates for safety

• Interior floor and wall preservation

Our Guiding Principles

• Preserve original materials whenever possible

• Maintain historical accuracy

• Work with local craftspeople

• Keep the community informed

• Protect the church for public enjoyment

  
  Every board inspected, every nail straightened, and every beam strengthened brings the church one step closer to shining again.
