History Happy Hour: Caring for Historic Cemeteries

Join us for a History Happy Hour with Breanne Simpson, the "Grave Maid," at the Fort Myers Historic Cemetery. Dive into the world of cemetery preservation and learn the proper techniques for headstone cleaning. This hands-on demonstration will not only teach you how to care for these historical markers but also immerse you in the rich history of the cemetery itself.

After learning about headstone care, we'll transition to Remedies Parlor to relax and discuss the importance of preserving historic cemeteries over drinks.
