Join us for an informative look at New England’s graveyards.
“Welcome to the Graveyard!” is a 90 minute in-person ‘virtual tour’ chronicling cemetery art, history and symbolism. From colonial New England burial grounds of the 16 & 1700s, through the nation-wide rural cemetery movement of the 19th century and into 21st century locations, the program examines why we have cemeteries and gravestones, why they look like they do and how styles and art have evolved over almost 400 years. The presentation is robust with photographs of original gravestones and burial grounds from cemeteries visited by the Gravestone Girls over many years.
For adults only. Registration is required. Please contact Kate at kmcfadden@minlib.net with any questions.
