"NH Cemeteries & Gravestones," Mon. Oct 7th

Please join the Historical Society of Amherst in welcoming Glenn Knoblock as he presents his program ‘New Hampshire Cemeteries and Gravestones.’ 

This fascinating program will be presented at the Amherst Town Library in the Johnson Room on Monday October 7th at 6:30pm.  It is made possible through a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council’s Humanities on the Go Program.  Admission is free and open to the public. 

“Rubbings, photographs, and slides illustrate the rich variety of gravestones to be found in our own neighborhoods, but they also tell long-forgotten stories of such historical events as the Great Awakening, the Throat Distemper epidemic, and the American Revolution. Find out more about these deeply personal works of art and the craftsmen who carved them with Glenn Knoblock, and learn how to read the stone “pages” that give insight into the vast genealogical book of New Hampshire.”
