In a world filled with ever-changing trends and fleeting fads, it's refreshing to find a community that embraces something as timeless as history and the preservation of cultural heritage. This is what you'll discover within GraveGeeks. It all began on TikTok, where the CrazyCemeteryLady had posted videos for quite some time. An idea came that would unite taphophiles from around the country.
While social media can be troublesome at times, it has proven the ability to create connections and give voices to the "obscure" communities. CrazyCemeteryLady had been developing contacts with so many cemetery lovers and started envisioning a space where all like-minded enthusiasts could congregate and share their passion for historic cemeteries, genealogy, and all things related. At the same time, being a little "unhinged" at times.
Harnessing her passion and determination, CrazyCemeteryLady created the GraveGeeks group to bring her vision to life. While many of us had been posting our videos and going live independently, we needed dedicated time to talk to each other, share ideas, answer questions, and feel like we belonged to a group. Suddenly, GraveGeeks was formed. Now, every Thursday at 8 p.m. EST, taphophiles across the nation gather virtually, bridging the geographical gaps to celebrate their shared passion.
What started as a small gathering of dedicated individuals has blossomed into a flourishing community where members continue to join each week. Enthusiasts from all corners of the country have been drawn to the GraveGeeks' chats and look forward to them every week.
The appeal of GraveGeeks extends far beyond just an interest in cemeteries. It is a sanctuary for those fascinated by history, genealogy, and a shared camaraderie often found among passionate individuals. Whether you are a seasoned taphophile or craving a newfound passion, GraveGeeks wholeheartedly welcomes you.
At the core of GraveGeeks' philosophy lies the belief that cemeteries are not merely resting places for the deceased, but also vital repositories of our collective history. Burial grounds provide a tangible link to the past, allowing modern-day enthusiasts to honor and learn from the stories etched upon tombstones. By preserving cemeteries, we see that future generations can continue to unearth the legacies of those who came before us.
One of the most remarkable aspects of GraveGeeks is its ability to unite individuals from all walks of life, representing diverse regions and backgrounds. With members dispersed across the country, this unique community has fostered connections and relationships that transcend physical barriers. Through shared experiences and discussions, we advocate for the importance of preserving history on a national scale.
This journey from a simple TikTok vision to a thriving community of like-minded enthusiasts is a testament to the power of shared passions and digital connectivity. As the group grows each week, so too does its impact on preserving these cemeteries and honoring the legacies of those who came before us. So, whether you consider yourself a genealogy buff, a history lover, or simply possess a genuine curiosity for exploring untold stories, GraveGeeks welcomes you with open arms. Join us and discover the beauty and significance within the hallowed grounds of our nation's cemeteries.
With love,
