SUMMARY:Tombs and Tomes Book Club November (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:In The Butchering Art\, the historian Lindsey Fitzharris reveals the shocking world of nineteenth-century surgery on the eve of profound transformation. She conjures up early operating theaters–no place for the squeamish–and surgeons\, working before anesthesia\, who were lauded for their speed and brute strength. These medical pioneers knew that the aftermath of surgery was often more dangerous than their patients’ afflictions\, and they were baffled by the persistent infections that kept mortality rates stubbornly high. At a time when surgery couldn’t have been more hazardous\, an unlikely figure stepped forward: a young\, melancholy Quaker surgeon named Joseph Lister\, who would solve the deadly riddle and change the course of history… \nStill interested?

SUMMARY:Cemetery Speaker Series: Gravestone Recipes\, with Rosie Grant
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT\nThe final Speaker Series guest of 2025 is a real treat! 🍪 Congressional Cemetery is thrilled to welcome Rosie Grant\, author of the newly-released book\, To Die For: A Cookbook of Gravestone Recipes\, on Sunday\, November 23rd at 1 PM. \nRosie Grant (a former Congressional Cemetery intern) has been searching out and documenting the phenomenon of people immortalizing recipes on gravestones. In To Die For\, Rosie collects 40 recipes she’s found across the globe\, carved into headstones or associated with a grave that has a story to share. Each recipe is accompanied by an interview with the remaining family\, plus photography of the food\, the gravestone\, and any memorabilia the family wanted to share. \nRosie Grant baked snickerdoodles based off of the recipe listed on the tombstone of Annabell R. Gunderson in Willits\, California. \nRosie Grant is the creator behind @GhostlyArchive on TikTok and Instagram\, where she researches and re-creates recipes found on gravestones. She works at the Center for the Study of Women at UCLA and is currently working on a food studies certificate at the UCLA Extension School. She received her Masters in Library Science (MLIS) at the University of Maryland with a concentration in digital archives in 2022\, where she got to combine her love of food writing\, cemeteries\, and archival work. The gravestone recipe project first began during her digital archives internship at Congressional Cemetery in Washington\, DC. \nSpeaker Series: Gravestone Recipes with Rosie Grant will include a presentation about Rosie’s tasty travels\, followed by a book signing. The event will conclude with a tour of unique\, personalized gravestones throughout Congressional Cemetery. \nThere are two ticket options for this event: \n1) Regular admission costs $10 \n2) Admission PLUS a copy of Rosie Grant’s To Die For book costs $36. The books will be provided through a partnership with Bold Fork Books. \nBooks will be available to purchase in the Chapel on the day of the event\, as well. \nSpace is limited so be sure to reserve your spot today! Keynote remarks and the book signing will take place inside the Chapel\, and the walking tour will take place on the grounds. The tour is approximately 45 minutes in length. Please come prepared with comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. \nSOLD OUT

SUMMARY:Death Cafe at Congressional Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to join us at one of our monthly Death Cafes at Historic Congressional Cemetery. \nAs an active burial ground\, Historic Congressional Cemetery is well acquainted with death\, but just what is a Death Cafe? \nDeath Cafe is a global movement to encourage discussion about the often-taboo subject of death. These are intimate informal gatherings where we discuss death while eating cake and drinking tea to remind us of comfort and sweetness even in difficult times. There is no agenda other than providing a space for an open-ended conversation. \nPlease join us to explore these topics in the spirit of curiosity and wonder. Please keep in mind these gatherings are not meant to offer or replace grief counseling. In the interest of privacy and being present\, we ask that these conversations remain in the room and there be no recording\, note-taking\, or personal details shared afterward. \nFollow this link for more about Death Cafe history and concept. \nAt Congressional Cemetery\, our Death Cafes are facilitated by a rotating slate of volunteers in the region\, each bringing their own unique energy and way to make space for the conversation. Our Death Doula in Residence\, Laura Lyster-Mensh\, represents the cemetery  for these evenings. \nCongressional Cemetery offers these unique conversations free of charge\, and offers tea and sweets in the tradition of death cafes around the world. We do ask that you consider bringing a food or beverage item to share\, or a suggested $5 donation\, to help cover event costs. \nDue to space limitations and to allow us to offer an intimate conversation\, please reserve a chair for the dates you will be joining us. To be on the waitlist for any unavailable dates\, use the form or please email Laura at deathdoula@congressionalcemetery.org \nRESERVE A SEAT AT AN UPCOMING DEATH CAFE HERE\n2025 Facilitators: \n2/6/25   Lisa Malear \n3/6/25   Laura Lyster-Mensh \n4/3/25   Dixie Marroquin \n5/1/25   Caitlin Cronin \n6/5/25   Patricia Dubroof \n7/3/25   Diane Ullius \n8/7/25  Veronica Mosqueda \n9/4/25   AJ Orlikoff \n10/2/25   Kurt Deion \n11/6/25   Sam Stebbins \n12/4/25   Sarah Miller
