Description

Join us at OPRF Museum on Saturday October 26, at 3 p.m. when Lee Conte hosts a presentation on the ornate and unexpected art found in graveyards, including Forest Home, Concordia and Waldheim. 

Conte's expertise comes from her love of art history and a lot of time spent in cemeteries! She is a regular actor and co-organizer of the Historical Society's annual "Tale of the Tombstones" Cemetery Walk and will be seen portraying one of this year's spotlighted characters on October 20th. 

Regular admission rates will apply ($5 for residents, $7 for nonresidents, $3 for students, free for members).
