In May and June, the Rochester Historical Society will be talking area stones. On May 18 at 7:00 pm, Rochester resident, Steve DiMarzo, will present a program on the ancient carvings on area rocks that he has studied and documented. The program will be at the Rochester Historical Museum, 355 County Road.
Turning to a different type of stone, Jeff Stevens will present a talk on the meaning of tombstone carvings in colonial New England cemeteries and be June 15 at 7:00 pm.
A special event will be held on June 12 at 1:00. There will be a guided tour of the Rochester Center Cemetery. There is not a lot of parking at the cemetery, but attendees can park at Plum Corner or at the Senior Center.
