Created in 1966, the National Register of Historic Places is a compilation of historically significant buildings and properties.
Cemeteries as a category are excluded from being listed on the National Register, however many cemeteries are included. Why are cemeteries excluded? How do some cemeteries get listed anyway? What are the different types of cemeteries? How did they change through time?
Join BCM Archaeologist Associate Jeannine Kreinbrink, Wednesday, Aug. 9 at 6:30 p.m. as she explores local cemeteries that meet the National Register criteria in NKY History Hour: What is the National Register of Historic Places and how do Cemeteries get listed?
Register and participate in the free virtual presentation by Behringer-Crawford Museum online
Information on how to connect to the Zoom session will be sent after registration.
The event will also be streamed live on a href=”http://www.facebook.com/bcmuseumnky”>BCM’s Facebook page. All recordings of past episodes www.bcmuseum.org.
