Join author Cynthia Parzych, through Zoom, as she presents Arlington National Cemetery. Arlington National Cemetery, one of America's most important historical landmarks, is best known for more than 300,000 graves and famous monuments. But before this beautiful spot on the Potomac became a cemetery, it had a very interesting history entwined with the early history of the Virginia settlement and some of Virginia's first families including the Custis's, Lees, and Washingtons. Her talk, based on her book on the topic, will present the backstory of this iconic spot and highlight some of the stories of the interesting people who lived and were buried there.
