Having the Last Word: Epitaphs at Mount Auburn Cemetery

Event Description

An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe
Mount Auburn Cemetery - 580 Mt Auburn St. Cambridge, MA 02138
Sunday, October 28th, 2018
4:00 PM – 5:30 PM

Some poetic, some ironic, epitaphs serve to paint a picture of the character of an individual commemorated by a monument. They tell us things about their values, their last words, academic interests, careers, and even give us a window into the grief of a family left behind many years ago. Join Mount Auburn’s Events and Outreach Coordinator, Corinne Elicone for this evening walking tour to catch a glimpse of her favorite epitaphs at Mount Auburn Cemetery.

Admission:    Free for Members of Friends of Mount Auburn  / $12 non-Member
