Get to know your historical neighbors in a walking tour of Bridge Street Cemetery. We will "meet" some Northampton residents--like Revolutionary War patriot Joseph Hawley, Samuel Bartlett of witchcraft accusation fame, Indigenous spinner and weaver Sally Maminash, Sylvia Church a woman who was enslaved in Northampton, and a family who were all killed in the Mill River Flood. Along the way, we will examine changing artisanry and symbolism of gravestone design.
Pre-registration is required. Each tour is limited to 15. Sliding Scale Admission: $5-20. |
