New video: The Hill Family Billboard

April 5, 2021

Our April lecture is now available on YouTube! Ron Romano, historic cemetery expert, and B. Craig Stinson, genealogist, presented “The Hill Family Billboard Monument in Yarmouth: New Discoveries” for our April lecture. This pair of speakers delved into the fascinating history and recent restoration of the Hill family monument in Yarmouth’s Baptist Cemetery. Ron Romano’s new research into this unusual “billboard” monument brings new understanding of this type of gravestone in Maine, while Craig Stinson’s thorough genealogical and archival research enriches our understanding of the people memorialized on the stone. You will be amazed at the stories this single marker can tell! Watch the recorded lecture below.
