Adult Afternoon Program: Etched in Stone: Understanding the Old Symbols Used on Gravestones

Join us for this presentation by local historian, Dennis Jacobs.
Dennis will take a look at symbols used on Victorian grave markers. He will explain the hidden meanings behind carvings used on mid- to late- nineteenth century gravestones. Learn what different symbols represent and why they may not have been chosen to represent their loved ones.
