SUMMARY:Cemetery Symbolism Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Every gravestone tells a story—if you know how to read it.\n\n\n\n\n\nStep into the rich visual language of the Victorian-era cemetery and uncover the meanings hidden in Mount Auburn’s landscape that shaped 19th-century memorial art and mourning culture. \nTogether\, we’ll examine how changing attitudes toward death\, remembrance\, religion\, and nature influenced the design of monuments and landscapes in America’s garden cemeteries. Along the way\, participants will learn to “read” gravestones and memorials while gaining insight into the social and cultural values of the era. \nPerfect for newcomers and longtime cemetery enthusiasts alike\, this hour-long twilight walk offers an accessible introduction to the meanings and artistry behind cemetery symbolism. \nComfortable walking shoes recommended. \nCheck-in at the Egyptian Revival Gateway Plaza \n\n\n\n\n\n  \nREGISTER HERE>>\n  \nExperience a deeper connection to Mount Auburn Cemetery with free or discounted access to all our public programs and special events by joining the Friends of Mount Auburn.
