Join our Archivist, Karly Watts, on Saturday, November 8th from 1PM to 3PM at Carnegie Hall for a special talk on symbolism in headstone art! Watts will take you on a guided walking tour of our local cemeteries and explore the history, relevance, and meaning behind the beautiful memorials in stone.
Symbolism in headstone art dates back centuries, with each design offering insight into the life, faith, or character of the individual it commemorates. Every curve, carving, and symbol on a headstone carries meaning, often reflecting the beliefs, values, and legacy of the departed, as well as the cultural traditions of a community.
