Saturday October 18th at 2 PM
Come discover Bellevue Cemetery with guide Stephanie Read. Explore the history of this place and that of the founding families and settlers who had an impact on the Aylmer and Outaouais region (e.g., Charles Symmes, Giden Olmstead, Mary McConnell, and members of the Wright family). This tour will be offered in English.
The tour will be followed by an introduction to the Find a Grave platform, during which participants will be tasked with photographing and recording important memorials. Each participant will receive a list of specific monuments to record and their location on a map. The guide will provide tips and advice on best practices for analyzing, photographing, and recording memorials with the Find a Grave website. Interested participants will be invited to join a temporary working group to review and upload the documents online at a later date.
