Become a Pioneer Cemetery Volunteer

The Pleasanton Pioneer Cemetery is more than a historic landmark. It is a place that honors the lives, stories, and contributions of the pioneers, families, and community members who helped shape Pleasanton. From early settlers to longtime residents, these grounds preserve the memories of the people who came before us and reflect the history of our community.

By becoming a volunteer, you play an important role in caring for this treasured piece of Pleasanton’s past. Volunteers help maintain the beauty and dignity of the cemetery through activities such as cleaning headstones, removing debris, raking, and weeding. Volunteers may also help share the stories of those buried here by assisting with guided tours and helping visitors learn more about Pleasanton’s rich history.

No special experience is required. All you need is an appreciation for local history, a willingness to help, and a desire to make a meaningful contribution. Whether you volunteer during scheduled workdays, assist with preservation projects, or help lead and support guided tours, your time and efforts make a lasting difference.

Together, we can honor the individuals who helped build our community, preserve their stories, and ensure the Pleasanton Pioneer Cemetery remains a place of beauty, dignity, and remembrance for generations to come.

Thank you for helping keep Pleasanton’s living history alive.
