In this class, Holli Bushnell, sexton for the city of Burlington, will lead participants on a journey to uncover the stories of women buried in the city’s three cemeteries whose names and lives have been obscured by time. Using her extensive research, Holli will discuss the challenges of tracing female genealogies and the historical context that often led to women being buried without their own names on their headstones. The class will highlight the “Lost Ladies of Lakeview” project, an ongoing effort to restore these women’s identities and ensure their legacies are remembered within Burlington’s history.Holli Bushnell has spent her career working with cemeteries and has a deep passion for the history they hold. As sexton for Burlington’s cemeteries, she combines her love of local history with a commitment to honoring the dead. Her work focuses on making sure everyone buried there is remembered with respect.
Class starts at 10:30 a.m. (ET) in-person at the Library.
