As part of its ongoing New Jersey History Speaker Series, The Historical Society of Moorestown presents Dr. Richard Veit, who will discuss his book, “New Jersey Cemeteries and Tombstones: History in the Landscape,” on Jan. 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the Smith-Cadbury Mansion, 12 High Street in Moorestown.
New Jersey Cemeteries and Tombstones presents a culturally diverse account of New Jersey’s historic burial places from High Point to Cape May and from the banks of the Delaware to the ocean-washed Shore, to explain what cemeteries tell us about people and the communities in which they lived.
Veit is an associate professor in the Department of History and Anthropology at Monmouth University. He is the author of “Digging New Jersey’s Past: Historical Archaeology in the Garden State,” winner of the 2003 New Jersey Historic Preservation Award.
