Happy Black History Month! My favorite part of cartography is exploring new places and ways of seeing through maps and one of my new favorites is the Radical Atlas of Ferguson, USA by Patty Heyda. It's a detailed infographic biography of a city. It's one of the best cases for geography I've seen.

Lots of great memento mori symbolism on this gravestone for Thomas Kendel, 1681, at Old Burying Ground in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Carved by the so-called “Old Stonecutter of Boston.” Nearly all subsequent colonial era carvers derived their styles directly or indirectly from him. #skystorians

Gravestone of Samuel Treat, 1733, at Wethersfield Village Cemetery in Wethersfield, Connecticut. Carved by Thomas Johnson I, who was one of the few Connecticut carvers who regularly incorporated the winged skull design into his gravestones. #connecticuthistory #gravestone #skystorians

I go to my library weekly. I order books via inter library loan. My library has a great historical room which is an excellent place to research. My local also has a maker space where patrons can use a 3-d printer, computers, photo studio, knitting machines, sewing machines, soldering tools and more!

Did you know that the sphinx monument at Mount Auburn Cemetery in #CambridgeMA is a Civil War Memorial? It was created in 1872 by Milton Milmore.
