232 Montgomery County’s Famous Four-Legged Friends Julianne Mangin, Writer and Family Historian Established in 1920, Aspin Hill Pet Cemetery reflects the life and times of the Washington region. There lie famous pets owned by movers and shakers of the twentieth century. There are also thousands of pets of less influential owners whose stories are equally fascinating. In this presentation, you’ll learn about the Cemetery’s history and the people who ran it. You’ll also hear entertaining stories gleaned from newspapers, photographs, land records, and the inscriptions on the Cemetery’s grave stones. Nov 23 | 7-8:30pm | $15
