Zinc Monuments Walking Tour

When: Sat., June 16, 11 a.m.-12:45 p.m. 2018

Zinc grave markers were a Victorian phenomenon that found their way to American and Canadian cemeteries from coast to coast from 1874 to 1914. They were durable, lower cost and progressive, underscoring the Victorian notion that new technology was always better than the old. Don Hall, tour guide, will visit eight grave sites in Mount Hope that are marked with zinc.
