SUMMARY:Nine You Should Know: Nine People from Belchertown’s History with Cliff McCarthy
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 3\, 7 PM \nDo you know which Belchertown native has had a full-length Hollywood movie devoted to his life and has been portrayed by actors John Carradine and James Coburn in other films? Do you know who the first American Protestant missionary to China was? or Belchertown’s connection to the first Governor of Kansas? What Belchertown woman drew the plans for remodeling the Stone House into a museum? To learn the answers and more interesting things about former Belchertown residents\, come to hear “Nine You Should Know\,” presented by Cliff McCarthy\, Stone House archivist and local historian. \nThis talk will present nine historical figures connected to Belchertown that will astonish and surprise. Some you will admire\, some you will despise\, but all have interesting stories to tell. You will travel to China and the gold fields of California; you will visit utopian communities in Utah and New York states. You will learn about our town’s connection to “bleeding Kansas” and the U.S. Colored Troops in the Civil War. You will land back home to learn of extraordinary people who lived right here in Belchertown.

SUMMARY:Welcome to the Graveyard! with Brenda Sullivan of the Gravestone Girls
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 9\, 7 PM \n“Welcome to the Graveyard!” is a 90 minute illustrated ‘virtual tour’ chronicling cemetery art\, history and symbolism.  From colonial New England burial grounds of the 1600s & 1700s\, through the nation-wide rural cemetery movement of the 19th century and into 21st century locations\, the program examines why we have cemeteries and gravestones\, why they look like they do and how styles and art have evolved over almost 400 years.  The presentation is robust with photographs of original gravestones and burial grounds found in Belchertown along-side images from cemeteries visited by Gravestone Girls over many years.
