Explore the burial customs, traditions, and superstitions around death in New England from colonial times through the 19th century with Dean Massey, an urban planning researcher from Northeastern University. Following the talk, a short walk to the Warner Cemetery will offer an opportunity to closely examine epitaphs and iconography, and to discuss the rich diversity of New England’s remembrance practices. Tour the first floor of the Palmer-Warner House and join us as we celebrate the end of our season with warm cider and chestnut roasting.
