Halloween and History cemetery tour comes around again Oct 31 with Rob Lawson

Via Dean College's Rob Lawson:

I want to bring to your attention an annual event I do — the Halloween and History cemetery tour. 

I’ve been doing this for over a decade and it’s always a good time. Attendees learn about meaning of tombstone icons and the materials used in gravestone-making, the stories of famous Franklinites and the founders of Dean College, and this year I’ll be working in new material about the origins of Halloween-type celebrations in Massachusetts as well as a story of a Franklinite who met a grisly end in Quebec in the years after the Revolution. 

Also this year I’ll be encouraging guests to consider donating to the Franklin Historical Museum gift fund. 

Admission/participation is free but gratuities are accepted.
