Historic Cemeteries as Outdoor Museums

Time: 6:00 pm til 7:00 pm

Location: City Island Library, Daytona Beach

Description: Join Sarah Miller of the Florida Public Archaeology Network as she presents at the October Volusia Genealogical Society meeting.

Learn the importance of historical cemeteries and how they can act as historic documents, art exhibits, parks and more! We encourage families and classes to get into the cemeteries within their communities and put archaeological principles to the test. Iconography, dating of headstones, and change of style over time (seriation) are emphasized along with lessons in cemetery preservation including cleaning headstones.
