has nearly 200 cemeteries; many are small family plots hidden along back roads
and in the woods. Gravestone specialist Jessica Felix, will talk about the do’s
and don’ts of gravestone care and cleaning and lead a walk through the Town
House Cemetery beginning around 1:30 at the Town House.

utilize these buildings, please come share.
