Welcome to Townsend's Graveyards!
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2025
6:00—7:30 PM
Townsend Public Library“Welcome to the Graveyard!” is a 90 minute in-person ‘virtual tour’ chronicling cemetary art, history and symbolism.
The Gravestone Girls will be customizing this event to be all about Townsend's graveyards! Come and learn more about the many burial grounds in town and their robust history!
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.
Registration at townsendlibrary.org is required
