About this Event

Milk Row Cemetery is a quiet oasis along bustling Somerville Avenue, nestled between Market Basket and other industrial brick buildings. It is the oldest cemetery in Somerville, rich in history, but long neglected. Over the past decade, the cemetery underwent a series of preservation measures, including gravestone and tombstone rehabilitation, landscaping, and conservation of the Civil War monument at the center of the cemetery.* Join Barbara Mangum, objects conservator and President of the Board of Trustees at the Somerville Museum, as she shares more about these projects. After the lecture, feel free to stay until 8pm for a guided tour of the grounds (preview below).

Admission is free and registration is NOT required. However, if you would like to donate to the museum (a registered 501(3)(c) non-profit), you will be able to do so upon clicking "Get Tickets."
