Thanks to a vote of support by the Machias Selectboard, on Sept. 10, Longfellow Cemetery on Route 1A in Machias will become an official Wreaths Across America cemetery.

“This cemetery is more than just a place on a map to me,” Jennifer Vane told the board last week. “It’s where my family is.” She explained that when she visits the cemetery she is reminded of the many veterans laid to rest there.
