The “Talking Tombstones” event is a unique and engaging initiative often organized by historical societies like the Bartholomew County Historical Society. Talking Tombstones aims to bring local history to life by having actors portray notable figures from the community’s past at their gravesites. This is typically done in a cemetery where these figures are buried.
During the event, attendees walk from tombstone to tombstone, and at each stop, an actor delivers a monologue or a brief scene. These performances are scripted from historical records to accurately reflect the individual’s life and impact on the community. The aim is to educate participants about local history memorably and interactively, making it more accessible and engaging than traditional methods might.
This type of event provides educational value and helps raise awareness and funds for the preservation of local historical sites and cemeteries. It will draw a diverse crowd, from residents to history buffs, and provide a unique cultural offering that enhances community engagement with their heritage.
