Join the Historical Commission as we get ready for the Spooky Season with a Spooky Program, sure to get you into the Spirit!
Brought to you thanks to a very generous donation from the Plainville Cultural Council, we will be welcoming Roxie Zwicker to town to discuss "Stories, Stones and Superstitions of New England".
In this Ooky Spooky, yet informative program, Roxie will take us on a virtual tour direct from the pages of Roxie’s four books on New England’s legendary graveyards. This presentation features intriguing burial grounds from the woods of Connecticut, the farm fields of Western Massachusetts, the mountains of New Hampshire and the shores of Maine. Learn about Colonial and Victorian burial customs and beliefs and the ghost stories from some of the most beautiful and some long forgotten cemeteries in the northeast. Learn the symbolism and stories behind some of New England’s oldest gravestones. Highlighted with Roxie’s gorgeous photography this is one of her most popular presentations.
The Program will be on Friday, October 17th, starting at 6:30 in the Community Meeting room of Plainville Town Hall. No reservations required. Doors open at 6.
