Professor of Art Véronique Plesch  gave a lecture at the Norridgewock Historical Society titled “Cemeteries: Where History Is Alive,” in which she considered the way cemeteries bear witness to history and what we can learn from them. Graveyards hold our memories, both personal and communal, and reveal trends in art, architecture, lettering, and how we want to be remembered. In the course of her talk, she had the occasion to discuss several graves in Norridgewock’s Riverview Cemetery.
