Ever wondered why you shouldn’t walk on a grave? Or why there are so many skulls on tombstones? Join WM Programs and Collections Director Nicole Carpenter at the Greens Farms Lower Cemetery to discuss the 18th and 19th century superstitions associated with cemeteries and the dearly departed. Learn what urns, willow trees and other artistic symbols on gravestones mean as you meander through the cemetery.
Park on Nyala Farms Rd (cross street: Sherwood Island Connector) and meet on the marked green at the back entrance to the cemetery.
Tickets $10. Reservations are required. Tickets are nonrefundable. In the event you must cancel, we will consider your purchase a donation and will happily issue you a donation receipt.
Space is limited to 25 persons per tour. Additional tours may be added if demand requires. If you wish to join but the tour has been sold out or are interested in a private tour, please email your interest to [email protected]
