Caring for the dead. Conjuring the spirits of the past. Entering into conversation with those who came before us.

These are all part of the work of Open House of History.

But first—let's learn how to maintain cemetery gravestones!

Have you ever wondered how to properly clean and preserve a gravestone? Join us for a free public workshop with Judson Star of Maintain the Memory.

Judson will demonstrate the right—and wrong—ways to clean and maintain historic headstones, helping participants understand how to protect these important markers of memory and community history.

This program is presented in partnership with the Waldoborough Historical Society and is free and open to the public.
