SUMMARY:Springfield Cemetery Architecture & Symbolism Tour
DESCRIPTION:Once known as Peabody Cemetery\, the Springfield Cemetery is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the City of Springfield. Despite being located in the heart of the city\, the cemetery itself was designed in the landscape tradition of the rural cemetery with sloping hills and meandering paths through the graves that date back to the first burial in 1841. Stones\, tablets\, and remains dating to 1664 were relocated from the Old First Church shortly after the opening of the cemetery. \nWithin the Springfield Cemetery’s unique landscape are some of the most architecturally interesting stones and burial crypts in New England\, featuring traditional cemetery symbols mixed with modern motifs and designs. This tour of the cemetery highlights some of these\, explaining the significance behind some of the most common (and not-so-common) symbols of death and mourning. \nThe tour will take place on Saturday\, October 28th at 1:00pm. Please meet at the Cemetery main office\, at 171 Maple St.
