The next meeting of the Groveport Heritage Society will be a program focused on cemeteries. Vicky and Nancy Ottman will share their knowledge of grave markings and headstones. They are both members of the Association for Gravestone Studies. That organization has led them to visit over 1000 cemeteries in The United States, Canada, South America, Asia and Europe. They have a wealth of information regarding the significance of engravings found on headstones.

Following their program, we also hope to have a brief walking tour through the Groveport Cemetery.

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 28. We will meet at the Log House. The program will begin at 6:30. Hope to see you there
