Join us for an autumn morning event at the beautiful Mount Auburn Cemetery, located just west of Boston. Isabella Stewart Gardner is buried at this famous cemetery, along with many of her friends, rivals, and fellow art collectors.

The morning will begin with light breakfast bites at Bigelow Chapel and a talk by Robin Hazard Ray, Mount Auburn and ISGM docent and volunteer, who will introduce a colorful cast of Boston personalities from Gardner’s circle. Following the talk, you can explore on your own with a self-guided walking tour map amid the Cemetery’s splendid fall foliage.

This event is free and for members at the Contributor level and above. Space is limited and advance reservations are required. Guests will meet at 580 Mount Auburn Street, Cambridge, MA, rain or shine.
