If you would like to become a volunteer tutor or know a child who could benefit from this program, please call Media Services at 625-3834. As we wind our way through the peaceful grounds, we will learn more about 19th Century mourning practices and the rural cemetery movement. Oakland Cemetery is rich in examples of symbolism in its tombstones. We will examine the symbols and their meanings and seek to understand how Victorian Americans deal with the ever present issues of death. As this is an outdoor walking tour, please wear appropriate shoes and outwear and be prepared to walk and stand for at least an hour.
