Join in on a guided tour of the historic “Old Huguenot Burying Ground” every Friday evening in September. Visiting various gravestones stretching back to the earliest generations of European settlers in New Paltz, “Six Feet Under Huguenot Street” will explore the development of the community through the final resting places of its residents. Drawing from archival records, staff will share stories from colonial funeral practices (death biscuit, anyone?) to Victorian ideas surrounding death, while showcasing to guests the evolution of gravestones in New York and what they can tell us about the traditions of the European settlers along Huguenot Street. Appropriate for all ages.
