Coffee Klatch & History Chat: Easton’s Old Burial Grounds
Enjoy coffee and a light breakfast while learning about local history at this third History Chat in Greiser’s winter series with Frank Pagliaro!
Our cemeteries tell the stories of life and death in 18th and 19th century Easton and give clues about the practices and rituals of people who lived here. Gravestone styles changed over time and mark the spots where some of our notable residents lived and now rest.
Frank Pagliaro is a 27-year Easton resident with a passion for history and what he calls a “wikipedic” knowledge of all things local; that is, “constantly evolving and sometimes wrong.” Frank is a member of the Easton Cemetery Committee and was co-author of the definitive study of the 1807 Weston Meteorite fall sites. He’s a former Historical Society of Easton board member and presently works part-time at Greiser’s as a barista.
Frank presents local historic lessons with pictures and maps, leads a casual discussion, and answers all your questions about Easton history.
Each 90-minute event will take place in our art gallery/back room on from 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM. The $12-per-event ticket price includes a light breakfast buffet of coffee, tea, and juice, plus fresh baked croissants and scones, donut muffins, and yogurt. Seating is limited. Advanced registration is required.
