The Beginner’s Guide to Cemetery Sluething
presented by Erin Moulton
Your local cemetery is a time capsule. Each headstone is plastered with clues about the deceased, those who once walked where you walk 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 inconography, abbreviations, epitaphs, and more.
