SUMMARY:Cemetery 101
DESCRIPTION:RI is a special spot for historic cemeteries. Learn why in this discussion led by the RI Historic Cemetery Commissioner Larry Hunter.\n\n\nDid you know that Rhode Island designates April and May as “Historical Cemeteries Awareness and Preservation Weeks” or that there are nearly 90 cemeteries in Westerly and approximately 3\,200 in the whole state? Join us for an informative discussion of “Cemetery 101” led by Larry Hunter\, WLT Volunteer and RI Historic Cemetery Commissioner. Larry will dig into the history of RI cemeteries and discuss the orientation and types of headstones\, the use of footstones and field stones\, and the types of stones and various materials. He will also review the dos and don’ts of visiting cemeteries and the cleaning\, maintenance\, restoration\, and preservation of stones. \n \n\nThis event is lecture style\, held in a “classroom” setting in the Barlow Nature Preserve boardroom. There are two “in the field” events coming up on April 30 (Quaker Burial Ground) and May 7 (Grills Preserve)\, and while Cemetery 101 is not a required prerequisit for either\, it is excellent background information. We invite you to register for all three!\nNO COST for WLT members and $10 for non-members\, which Larry has generously pledged to donate to WLT.\nNot a WLT member yet\, but would like to be?
