Genealogists and local history buffs aren't the only ones who appreciate a good cemetery.
These lovely creatures were captured by our own resident cemetery aficionado, Karla.
If you don't mind spending an afternoon in a cemetery you may be interested in our upcoming workshop: Basic Cemetery Restoration. John Heider, a professional gravestone conservator, will offer a hands on class on how to properly care for Illinois cemeteries and their historic grave markers on June 4th. The class will meet at The Urbana Free Library and Roselawn Cemetery.
Cemeteries not your thing?
We have additional talks and workshops on our website ranging from local men's and boys' basketball, the anti-apartheid movement in Champaign-Urbana, how to preserve family heirlooms, and much more.
