Cemetery Tours and Programming - A Guide

Informationen zum Autor Rachel Wolgemuth has an academic background in American Studies with a focus on folklore and material culture. She has over a decade of experience at a historic cemetery outside of Philadelphia. Klappentext Cemetery Tours and Programming: A Guide shows the range and opportunities of cemetery programming which go beyond the basic starting points like dog-walking or traditional historic walking tours. While most cemeteries do not have a large paid staff, the book is accessible to anyone (a paid staff, volunteers, a Friends Group, or museum or historical society) looking to broaden the scope of how their local cemetery is utilized. While other books guide readers through the symbolism present in cemeteries or how to use a cemetery for genealogy, this is the only one on developing programming in cemeteries. It illustrates the reuses of both historic and contemporary burial grounds through the lenses of recreation, education, and reflection.
