Who we are

In 2019, Ellen Forbes Stick first unearthed Henrietta's headstone, which had been buried beneath the brush and brambles of the northwest corner of the cemetery. She recognized the need to clean and restore this historic cemetery, deeming it a worthy educational project for the Social Studies Department of Roanoke City Schools. The Friends of Old Lick evolved from that project.
