Goals of This Blog

As a member of the Association of Graveyard Rabbits, I hope to devote this blog to all things graveyard:

- To exploration, preservation, and restoration of graveyards and burial sites.
- To studying and chronicling the history and art of graveyards and putting this in the context of the history of the surrounding area.
- To mapping graveyards and transcribing tombstones.
- To learning about burial customs and tombstone/grave marker conventions.

I will post photographs and information on cemeteries that my family and I visit in the course of our travels.

  2. Thank you for your kind welcome. This blog will not be as active as the other Graveyard Rabbit blog (Northern Virginia), since I don't do a ton of traveling, but I hope to have some opportunities to visit graveyards when my husband and I travel (and he has orders to try to do some photography for me when he has time during business trips).
