SUMMARY:Book Signing Event: Grave featuring author Allison C. Meier
DESCRIPTION:Please join Congressional Cemetery for a book signing event for author Allison C. Meier’s new book\, Grave from the Object Lessons series. The author will be present to sign books and meet and greet attendees. Books will also be for sale at the event. A complimentary tour of HCC’s historic grounds will be offered with the author in attendance. \nThe event is free to attend but we ask that you please RSVP here!\nYou can purchase your own copy of Grave here!\nThe event is rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather\, the book signing will take place in the chapel. \nAbout the book:\nObject Lessons is a series of short\, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. \nGrave takes a ground-level view of how burial sites have transformed over time and how they continue to change. As a cemetery tour guide\, Allison C. Meier has spent more time walking among tombstones than most. Even for her\, the grave has largely been invisible\, an out of the way and unobtrusive marker of death. However\, graves turn out to be not always so subtle\, reverent\, or permanent. \nWhile the indigent and unidentified have frequently been interred in mass graves\, a fate brought into the public eye during the COVID-19 pandemic\, the practice today is not unlike burials in the potter’s fields of the colonial era. Burial is not the only option\, of course\, and Meier analyzes the rise of cremation\, green burial\, and new practices like human composting\, investigating what is next for the grave and how existing spaces of death can be returned to community life. \nObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic. \nAbout the author:\n \nAllison C. Meier is a writer and researcher based in New York City\, USA. Her writing on visual culture\, history\, architecture has appeared in the New York Times\, Curbed\, Lapham’s Quarterly\, CityLab\, Narratively\, Mental Floss\, Smithsonian\, New Inquiry\, Slate\, Urban Omnibus\, Fine Books\, Artsy\, and others. She moonlights as a cemetery tour guide at New York burial grounds and is a licensed New York City sightseeing guide. Previously\, she was a staff writer at Hyperallergic and a senior editor at Atlas Obscura. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Sunday Stroll Guided Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided tour of Congressional Cemetery! Over 65\,000 people are interred at Congressional Cemetery\, ranging from 1807 all the way until the present day. Their story is our story and many of them lived noteworthy and extraordinary lives. Come and learn from one of our expert docents who will share the stories of some of our interred residents in an approximately 1-to-1.5-hour tour of the beautiful and scenic cemetery grounds. This tour takes a broad look at the cemetery’s history and captures the life and times of some of our most notable interred residents. \nPlease come prepared with comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. \nThe Cemetery is open to dogs on Sundays. Please be aware of that off-leash dogs will be on the grounds at the time of the tour. \nReservations are required. $5 donation per person. \nSunday tours begin at 1:00 pm (and in the summer 10:30 AM to beat the heat)\, rain or shine\, and comfortable attire\, including footwear\, is strongly encouraged as tours often stray from the main paths. Visitors may meet docents at the front gate. \nReserve your tickets here! \n
