Florida Cemeteries: History and Call to Action

Time: 2:00 pm til 3:00 pm

Location: Naples Depot Museum, Naples

Description: As You Are Now, So Once Was I: Decoding Florida’s Cemeteries
Florida’s cemeteries are not as quiet as one might think. Instead, these burial places are rich with hidden symbols, public proclamations, and old, sometimes odd, traditions. From public playgrounds to austere resting places to high-tech memory storage, studies of cemeteries can bring to life families, communities, and cultures long after they’ve left Florida far behind. And learn how easy it is to document SWFL cemeteries and how you can join efforts to add local cemeteries to the FL state registry of historic resources.
