Our guests will introduce you to the workings of the Cemetery Commission and the Local History Library’s collections at the Robbins. They will offer a fascinating virtual “tour” of the Old Burying Ground and Mount Pleasant Cemetery, including some of their residents, and discuss stone maintenance and design from an artist’s point of view.
