7:00 pm: Buried Treasures at Mt. Hope Cemetery


October 9, 2018

Richard Reisem will introduce his new book "Buried Treasures in Mount Hope Cemetery" a 230 page field guide to historic Mount Hope. We will be introduced to several permanent residents from Revolutionary War times to 2017 to show the breadth of the more than 650 biographical sketches in the book.

There are about 350,000 people who have taken up permanent residence since the cemetery’s establishment. All of them may have important stories to tell. The range and diversity of the people whose stories are told provide a fascinating tableau of Rochester history.

The retail price of the book is $35.00, but on this occasion, autographed copies will be available for $25, including tax. Cash or personal checks are welcome.
