Welcome to the Graveyard with the Gravestone Girls

March 22, 2023 @ 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM EDT

Free
Gravestone Girls

Join us for “Welcome to the Graveyard!” a 90 minute illustrated ‘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 found in Reading along-side images from cemeteries visited by Gravestone Girls over many years.
