Friends History

The Friends of Wyuka began in 2002 when Ginny Hand and Earlene Knox organized the Wyuka Historical Foundation Auxiliary to support the historic cemetery’s preservation. Since that time, this group of volunteers has donated hundreds of volunteer hours and thousands of dollars to preservation projects.

In 2010 the Auxiliary officially changed its name to the Friends of Wyuka to better represent the organization’s mission.

Friends lead tours, welcome school groups, work outside and help in the office. Whether you are interested in active participation in the Friends or you would just like to help insure that Wyuka remains beautiful for future generations your support in greatly appreciated. Please become a member so that the work of the Friends can continue.
