Six Feet Under

An Idiosyncratic Look at
American Graveyards and Funeral Customs

David Dashiell is returning as a guest speaker to The Society of New Concord, bringing to life his bone-chilling, spooky insights and discoveries about burials through the ages.

David has a Master of Architectural History degree from the University of Virginia, and has enjoyed a 30-year career in history museums in Philadelphia and the Berkshires. In recent years he has focused on photography of art and architecture, and worked for a time as a photographer at the Mead Art Museum in Amherst, Massachusetts. David's current day job is in the development office of Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Becket, Massachusetts.
