Event Description:
History comes alive as the HSLB conducts an annual living history tour at the city's two oldest cemeteries. The tour takes place the Saturday on or before Halloween and features graveside presentations by professional and volunteer actors who relate the life and demise of the person lying in rest. Each year's program features a number of stories -- some are individuals who helped shape the city's political past, others are ordinary people whose tales remind us that rich or poor, famed or nearly forgotten, everyone has a story to tell. The tour is appropriate for families and all ages. There is nothing scary about the vignettes or the location. Tickets are sold online and at the gate from 8:30 a.m. until noon just inside the main gateway on Willow Street or at the Orange Avenue entrance. The Tour takes approximately two hours to complete and the last presentations are between 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
