GRAVESTONE SYMBOLISM

October 17, 2026    12:00 PM

Presented by Jay Kathman, Docent, Cincinnati Heritage Programs, Cincinnati Museum Center

After this talk, you’ll never look at a gravestone the same way! Every gravestone has a story, so buckle up for a fascinating, and somewhat humorous, look at American gravestones, their history and symbolism. Our speaker will share the meanings hidden in plain sight, from pioneer style stones to the modern eclectic works of art.

Luncheon in the Lecture Room at noon.
