Boston-imported gravestones join locally-made slate markers from the early 1800s. Some mid-century marble monuments and a wonderful receiving tomb make for a most interesting stroll. This one-hour tour through the old section will focus on colonial burial practices, stone types, and the symbols found on the grave-markers of some of Scarborough's founding families.. Max. 20 participants.
