About the event
"Built in 1834, Bangor’s 300 acre Mount Hope Cemetery is the nation’s second oldest garden cemetery. It was designed by renowned architect Charles G. Bryant as part of a national movement to provide respite from grassless urban landscapes. Garden cemeteries were created as much for living as for those who had passed on. During this talk we will discuss the building, expansion, residents, and some of the symbology in this beautiful Bangor cemetery."
Join Bangor Historical Society Curator, Matthew Bishop to learn about the history of Mount Hope Cemetery in Bangor.
