Springfield Cemetery is a rural cemetery that highlights both history and natural beauty. There are about 14 generations of New Englanders buried there. Ruth Shapleigh-Brown, Executive Director of the Connecticut Gravestone Network, and Rusty Clark, Springfield’s area cemetery guide and author, will provide an introduction to the area’s gravestones and recount stories about the craftsmen who made these old time memorials and some of the people buried in historic Springfield Cemetery.
Rusty Clark is the author of several cemetery books including West Springfield Massachusetts – Stories Carved in Stone.
Bring your curiosity, questions, and cameras. The tours are FREE for conference attendees, but preregistration is required.
