Headstone Lettering Demonstration

Joshua Hempsted held many positions throughout his lifetime, one of which was headstone letterer. On Wednesday, December 27th, 1749, our diarist writes, “fair & cold I finisht engraving a headstone for Samll Bills wife.” Join headstone carver Andrew Carr as he re-creates a headstone using Joshua’s lettering style with 18th–century carving techniques. A tour of the house is included with admission. 

Registration appreciated, but walk-ups welcome as space allows! 

Admission:
$15

Please dress for the weather as this program takes place primarily outdoors.
