Cemeteries as Outdoor Museums
Nassua County Library Fernandina Beach Branch
March 20, 07:00:00 PM — 08:00:00 PM
We encourage families and classes to get into the cemeteries within their communities and put archaeological principles to the test. This presentation can be brought via Powerpoint or introduced on-site at an actual cemetery. Iconography, dating of headstones, and change of style over time (seriation) are emphasized along with lessons in cemetery preservation. This lecture is part of the monthly meeting of the Amelia Island Genealogical Society. It is free and open to the public.
