Perhaps the truest testament to those brave early settlers are these gravestones, which represent some of the finest examples of Puritan gravestone art. In the inscriptions chiseled into New England slate we find their hopes and dreams as well as their sorrows.
Join us in this walk into the past on Friday, October 24th at 5:15 p.m. We will meet in front of the First Parish Congregational Church at 1 Church Street, and begin our journey into yesterday.
