Tombstone Tourists: Artifacts, Epitaphs, and Symbols in Historic Cemeteries 

Taphophiles, cemetery enthusiasts, preservationists, and tomb hunters are drawn to cemeteries for a variety of reasons – including their beauty, serenity, and the architectural qualities of tombs and monuments.  But what can we learn from these sacred sites?  What stories lay forgotten or unrecognized? Throughout her career in historic preservation and archeology, Victoria Clow has been intrigued by the secrets graveyards tell.  Spend a summer evening with her as she speaks about cemetery artifacts, epitaphs, symbols and what stories these sacred historic properties can reveal.
