Join the Huntington Historical Society in the Conklin Barn with Barbara LaMonica & Karen Martin for My Weeping Friends Remember Me: A Victorian Wake.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about funeral custom traditions of the past, view a selection of funerary items from our museum collections, and sample traditional mourning refreshments. Among many other interesting topics, we will discuss: the significance of hair jewelry, cemeteries and gravestone symbolism, and Victorian mourning practices after the death of a loved one.
