Cemetery Sleuthing

  • Sanford-Springvale Historical Museum 505 Main Street Springvale, ME, 04083 United States (map)

Presented by Erin Moulton. Your local cemetery is a time capsule. Each headstone is plastered with clues about the deceased, those who once walked where you walk now. A simple step through the hallowed gates can bring you on an adventure to explore symbolism, workmanship, and local history. Join us as we learn the meaning behind cemetery iconography, abbreviations, epitaphs, and more.
