Welcome to the Graveyard is an illustrated presentation chronicling cemetery art, history, and symbolism. From colonial New England burial grounds of the 16&1700s, through the nation wide rural cemetery movement of the 19th century and into 21st century locations, the program examines why we have cemeteries and gravestones, why they look like they do and how styles and art have evolved over almost 400 years.
