Join us at the Reno County Museum for a special TED-style talk and hands-on cemetery tutorial that bridges history, heritage, and healing.

🎤 Part 1: TED Talk at the Museum
Learn how to begin your genealogical journey, uncover family stories, and understand why documenting ancestry matters — especially for minority communities. We'll share tools, tips, and local resources to help you get started.
🪦 Part 2: Cemetery Tutorial
Join me at Eastside Cemetery for a hands-on session on gravestone preservation. We'll explore stone types, proper cleaning techniques, and how to respectfully honor those buried without markers.
