The Gravestone Girls present "Past the Cemetery Gate: Researching Clues from the Graveyard" In-Person
Cemeteries aren't just spooky, creepy, ghost-filled places, despite what the month of October makes us believe. Deepen your knowledge of cemeteries with the Gravestone Girls in this 90-minute program where we learn to ‘read’ the cemetery for clues and information. Using both direct observation and deductive reasoning from objects such as the writing, art, geology and the cemetery landscape, much new insight can be revealed. That new insight can answer questions, create new inquiries and open doors for further detective work. Many use the cemetery as a cursory resource for learning, genealogy or entertainment, some haven’t tapped it at all. This program will get guests looking at these spaces, both old and new, as a valuable resource for their data collection activities.
This program is sponsored by the Agawam Center Library Association.
