Richard, a longtime member of the Association of Gravestone Studies, will bring a wealth of knowledge to this often overlooked park culture resource.

Program fee per session: $3 per adult (includes museum admission); free for museum members.

Pre-registration is preferred. Call (401) 680-7221 or email [email protected] to register.
