About this Event

Historic Cemeteries as Outdoor Museums

Come join us as Robbie Boggs, Public Archaeology Coordinator gives a presentation on historic cemeteries and will cover iconography, dating of headstones, and change of style over time (seriation) along with lessons in cemetery preservation. We encourage families and classes to get into the cemeteries within their communities and put archaeological principles to the test.
