"Memories in Stone: The Geology of Grave Markers of the Grove Street Cemetery" - An Online Talk
The Grove Street Cemetery is many things: a site of memory and contemplation, a resource for studying the people and history of New Haven, and an arboretum with notable trees, but above all, it is a collection of geological specimens that were carefully selected and sculpted to mark the graves of local residents and families. A wide variety of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic stones are present on the grounds, and the differences in their composition and character offer an opportunity to explore their distinctive qualities.
