About this experience

Take a virtual walk through some of New England’s cemeteries with Louise Levy and learn how to decipher the clues left behind on the headstones. From skulls and bones to doves and roses, we’ll learn how to interpret the symbols used to memorialize our ancestors.

The talk will be followed by our annual Witches’ Brew Tea Party and Costume Contest! Whether you’re a good witch or a bad witch, a young witch or an old witch, come celebrate Spooky Season with us! Witchy attire encouraged but not required.

Louise graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Art History and joined the staff at Ventfort Hall three years ago. She gives talks ranging from servant life to the scandals of The Gilded Age.
