Dessert and Discuss with the Greater Westhampton Historical Museum: Beneath our Hallowed Grounds

Local burying grounds and historic cemeteries are endangered. Their monuments are exposed to the elements, and their inscriptions are vulnerable to loss and deterioration. But these monuments are the records of our settlers and their headstones preserve their stories. 

Recording, repairing, and interpreting the monuments in our burying grounds and historic cemeteries is a shared responsibility. Join Zachary N. Studenroth, President of the Sag Harbor Historical Museum, for a compelling look at the challenges and rewards involved in preserving and restoring our local historic cemeteries.
