Join us on this walking tour of the Bridge Street Cemetery, where we will travel through centuries of Northampton history.
By learning to “read” gravestones, we can better understand the lives of those who walked before us — in our case, solemn Puritans, hopeful citizens of the new republic, and sentimental Victorians. Tour guide Jamie Mastrogiacomo is a master’s student in Public History at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She graduated from Smith College in 2022 with a degree in English and American Studies. This past summer, she was a research intern at Historic Northampton, where she now works as the visitor services assistant on Sundays. Limited to 18.
Sliding scale admission: $15 - $25. |
