October 16, 7:00pm Friends at the Taylorville Public Library have guest John Hallwas presenting, “Cemeteries and Graves”: American Historical and Literary Perspectives”. The origin of cemeteries as we know them today is a complex one that draws on our changing attitudes towards death and dying over the last two centuries. As Hallwas says of the change in cemeteries over the years in his book “Here to Stay”: “When the dead resided in a beautifully kept and spiritually infused place, then death itself seemed less formidable and frightening.” The IL Humanities Council Road Scholars Program will sponsor this presentation.

October 18-19: Our friends at Moweaqua's Muddy Water RENDEZVOUS
