“Welcome to the Graveyard Virtual Tour Chronicling Art, History, and Symbolism of the New England Burial Grounds.”
Presented by the Gravestone Girls
This presentation is about New England cemetery, art, history and symbolism. Th ‘virtual tour’ takes us from colonial burial grounds, through the rural cemetery movement of the 19th century and into 21st century locations. It examines why we have cemeteries and gravestones, why they look like they do an how styles and art have evolved over almost 400 years.
