Join us for a lecture by Betsy McKee, board member of Longmeadow Cemetery Association and Longmeadow Historical Society, about early New England cemeteries.

McKee lives in a house built around 1801 by the Longmeadow gravestone carver Hermon Newell. This inspired her to study early gravestones of the Connecticut River Valley and nearby New England towns.

Betsy will cover gravestone photography, original appearance of graveyards, symbolism, carvers, and stories carved in stone.
