Have you ever wondered what all those detailed markings on old tombstones mean?

Join Donnamarie Emmert, Abingdon historian and ghost-story teller, for a stroll through Abingdon’s history, this time through the Sinking Spring Cemetery. Emmert will discuss the final resting places of many people whose names are on our streets and were prominent citizens during their eras. She will focus on the iconography of the tombstones and what their tombstones say about them. Not recommended for children under 10. Wear walking shoes.
