Why a blog?
This blog offers a forum for the people who know and love the Forest Hills to share their stories and photos. Al Maze, Elise Ciregna, and Kevin Lynch will post new discoveries and behind-the-scenes. If you are someone who visits often and want to join us as a regular blogger, please write.
Who are Al, Elise and Kevin?
Al has been leading tours at Forest Hills for more than 10 years, discovering countless stories of the people buried here (such as the inventor of the fountain pen, shoe vamp machine, 8-hour workday, and birth control pill to name a few). Elise is a scholar with a passion for Victorian material culture – the stuff produced by people of the 19th century and its meaning – and cemetery stone carvings. Kevin is the arborist for Forest Hills; in addition to caring for its mighty trees, Kevin is usually the first to spot a nest of baby owls or a hive of wild bees.
