Join us at Colonial Pemaquid State Historic Site as we explore the Pemaquid burying ground and hear the stories the headstones tell us: of the people who settled at Pemaquid in the 1700s, their lives and deaths, their hopes and fears for this life and the next, and the expressiveness with which their beliefs and feelings were carved in stone. The tour will start at the Museum before continuing to the burying ground itself.
