Seekonk Cemeteries: A History Tour

Seekonk, MA – More than just a place associated with grieving or spooky tales, local cemeteries offer a wealth of information on history and culture. Please join us to learn more about our own regional heritage at the library on Wednesday, September 19 at 6 PM for the presentation Seekonk Cemeteries: A Local History Tour. Registration is preferred, but not required.

The presenter for this program is Brenda Sullivan of The Gravestone Girls. Brenda will provide a ‘virtual tour’ of New England cemetery art, history and symbolism, featuring Seekonk cemeteries. This presentation examines why we have cemeteries and gravestones and their evolution over almost 400 years. Come to this program to learn more about this fascinating subject and be inspired to go out and explore on your own!
