Arlington Cemeteries: History, Art and Lore
Description
Join the Friends of the Robbins Library as they welcome Michele Hassler, Chair of the Arlington Cemetery Commission, Steven Prochet, Local History Librarian at the Robbins Library, and Kevin Duffy, an artist working in stone with expertise in monument conservation and commercial stone carving. 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.
