Dollie and Mike Lacefield have served as docents for the annual Christmas Comes to Liberty Hall since 2004, which is the home of Alexander H. Stephens, located in Crawfordville. Stephens served in both houses of the Georgia Legislature, the U.S. House of Representatives, as Vice President of the Confederacy and Georgia Governor. They use this opportunity to present true Southern history to future generations.
The Lacefields have also been studying cemetery restoration under Jonathan Appell at the Old Savannah Railroad Depot in Savannah, Georgia. They have studied how to correctly paint old brick work using period materials and the correct methods and materials for cleaning historic monuments. Both are currently involved in the complete restoration of a headstone of an Augusta Revolutionary War patriot and the stabilization of another. |
