    Arkansas Gravestones and Graveyards

    Shiloh Museum of Ozark History 118 W Johnson Ave, Springdale, AR, United States

    Join Abby Burnett for a discussion on her latest book, Though Silent They Speak: Arkansas Gravestones and Graveyards in this Not Strictly History program. Following the talk there will be books for sale and a signing. Though Silent They Speak: Arkansas Gravestones and Graveyards is a fascinating and informative guidebook to the most unusual graves and graveyards in Arkansas. Within the pages, readers explore showy marble monuments in city cemeteries and haunting, primitive carvings and inscriptions discovered in isolated, rural graveyards, while telling the stories behind these burials. Examples include private tombs in public places, African American burial grounds, a graveyard on the grounds of a former Japanese internment camp, and two small graveyards that are now state parks. This in-person event will also be available online via Zoom. To watch live online, fill out the form below.
