Program Description

Event Details

Your local cemetery is a time capsule. Each headstone is plastered with clues about the deceased, those who once walked where you’re walking now.  A simple step through the hallowed gates can bring you on an adventure to explore symbolism, workmanship, and local history.  Join Erin E. Moulton as we learn the meaning behind cemetery iconography, abbreviations, epitaphs and more. 

Erin’s latest book, The Beginner’s Guide to Cemetery Sleuthing: Scavenger Hunt and Workbook can be made available for sale at the end of this program but is not required.

Registration is required for this program.
