Welcome to the Graveyard! A Virtual Tour of Haverhill's Cemeteries

The Gravestone Girls present an adult-oriented, “virtual tour” of New England cemetery art, history, and symbolism. The "virtual tour", called "Welcome to the Graveyard", takes us from colonial burial grounds, through the rural cemetery movement of the 19th and into the 21st century locations. It examines why we have cemeteries and gravestones, why they look like they do, and how styles and art have evolved over almost 400 years. This event is sponsored by Linwood Cemetery and Crematory and Atwood Memorial Company.

Thursday, October 19 at 7 p.m. at the Buttonwoods Museum - 240 Water Street, Haverhill, MA

Admission $3 Buttonwoods Museum members, $5 Non-Members
