Rediscovering History, Inc is a 501c(3) organization, located in Columbia, CT. Started by Michael Carroll in late 2020, the organization is dedicated to the preservation of neglected and/or damaged, 'lost', or unkempt gravestones in cemeteries throughout Connecticut and beyond. To date, they have worked on over 1,000 gravestones, helping to pay respect to the past and keeping the memories of those before us, alive and known!Presenting on the topics of gravestone and cemetery preservation, in addition to the finer details pertaining to gravestones will be Michael Carroll, Lawrence Hunter, and Lisa Bargmann-Carroll. They will go in depth as to the different types of gravestones, the symbolism attached to various ones, the techniques utilized by the team when it comes to finding previously 'lost' stones, cleaning techniques, and more! Their focus will be on stones that can be found in Southeastern CT, telling those great stories of people long since passed.
Who knows...perhaps you'll learn about an ancestor...or two? Someone you're looking for? You never know who they'll come across, or already have! Interested in doing headstone cleanings? This is your opportunity to learn from those who actively do the work every February/March-Oct/Nov! See you there!!!
