About the event

Third Thursday Program: The Evolution of Headstones

Join us for an evening with Adam Paul Heller, one of only a handful of artisans creating hand-carved gravestones. He will discuss the evolution of headstones throughout history against the backdrop of cultural changes and personal preferences.

Heller lives and works as a sculptor and artist in Norfolk, CT. A story about his work, "Monumental Devotion" appeared in the October 2023 issue of Connecticut magazine.

Doors open at 6:30pm. Refreshments will be served. This program is free to members, with a suggested donation of $5 for all others. Additional parking is available in the rear of the building.
