The Science of Heritage Preservation: Conserving Historic CemeteriesFriday, October 3, 2025 @ 6 p.m.
Historic cemeteries are vital cultural landscapes that preserve community memory and heritage. This month's presentation frames their care as part of the science of heritage preservation; integrating conservation science, historical research, and community stewardship. By examining how natural and human forces shape monuments and landscapes, we consider strategies for repair, interpretation, and sustainable management that ensure historic cemeteries endure as both sacred spaces and sources of shared history. Presented by: Dr. Thomas C. Henthorn, Ph.D. Wyatt Endowed Professor of Public History The University of Michigan Flint.
Live lectures start promptly at 6 p.m., there will be no late seating. Please arrive 15 minutes early for best seating.
