Field Trips: Atlas Obscura's Upcoming Cemetery Tours

We love Atlas Obscura, and these upcoming cemetery tours, given by Allison Meier, look absolutely great:

March 10: Exploring the Glamorous Afterlife in Woodlawn Cemetery http://www.atlasobscura.com/events/glamorous-afterlife

April 28: An Afternoon in the New York Marble Cemetery http://www.atlasobscura.com/events/obscura-society-nyc-an-afternoon-at-the-new-york-marble-cemetery

In March, we'll be hosting a class on cemetery symbolism with Allison at the Brainey, and taking a tour would make for an awesome pairing.
