Stop by the DeKalb History Center on Wednesday, October 14, 12-1pm to hear cultural landscape specialist and story coach Andrew Kohr and author and journalist Jeff Dingler talk about historic cemeteries in the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area…

which contains at least two-dozen graveyards, ranging from early slave cemeteries that became burial grounds for freed communities to mysterious private family plots surrounded surrounded by thick walls of local granite. Join us for an insightful lecture about how Kohr surveyed and studied these disparate cemeteries and how locals can volunteer with the Arabia Alliance to help maintain many of these historic burial places that are imperiled or neglected. Bring a lunch and enjoy! 📍 DeKalb History Center 101 E Court Square, Decatur, GA 30030 More info / register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dekalb-history-center-lunch-learn-cemeteries-of-arabia-mountain-nha-tickets-1981376147394 #ArabiaMountain
