Tours are given at night by lantern and candlelight throughout the Cemetery – you will walk about one mile
Six true stories from local history on each tour
Stories are performed by professional actors in period costume
All new stories every year—no repeat scripts
All six stories are written by professional scriptwriters
Tours conclude with refreshments, and a special exhibit of historical documents used to write scripts will be available virtually
All proceeds benefit the historic preservation of Old City Cemetery (a non-profit organization)
Bring a Mask and a Flashlight and get ready for an evening of fun and history!
All events are sponsored by the Southern Memorial Association.
