GILMANTON IRON WORKS — A local cemetery is a time capsule. Each headstone is plastered with clues about the deceased, those who once walked where visitors walk now. A simple step through the hallowed gates can bring visitors on an adventure to explore symbolism, workmanship, and local history. Join Erin E. Moulton and the Gilmanton Historical Society to learn the meaning behind cemetery iconography, abbreviations, epitaphs, and more.
The program takes place Wednesday, Aug. 26, at the Old Town Hall on Route 140, beginning promptly at 6:30 p.m. Social hour and refreshments begin at 6 p.m. All are welcome. There is no charge, but donations to support the society are welcome.
