Taphophiles Unite!: 2nd annual Cemetery a Day in May!

I learned a new word this year: taphophile.  Taphophiles are people obsessed with cemeteries, and if you're reading this post that likely includes you.  Welcome!  You are in a safe place to explore these aesthetically beautiful and historically significant sites.  

 

Inspired by the guiding principle that a visited cemetery is a safer cemetery, we're back at it this May highlighting historic cemeteries in Florida.  And this year I'm not alone, the entire Northeast/East Central team is helping out to bring you a variety of sites in each and every one of our counties.  For those interested in taking their taphophilic tendencies a step further, consider joining us for our Inaugral Cemetery Resource Protection Training statewide conference to be held June 3-4, 2014 in Gainesville.  Preliminary program and registration available here: http://flpublicarchaeology.org/programs/CRPTconf.php.

 

So come on fellow taphophiles, let the journey begin!
