  • What do Arkansas gravestones tell us about the living? ✨

Join us for a Not Strictly History session with author Abby Burnett. We’re diving into her new book, Though Silent They Speak, to explore the stories behind the state’s most unusual burial grounds, from hidden rural carvings to the monuments of our city centers.

Whether it’s a graveyard on the grounds of a former internment camp or private tombs in public spaces, these sites hold our history.
