Tale of the Tombstones Cemetery Walk Forest Home Cemetery

See local notables come to life and learn about how their lives shaped local history at the "Tale of the Tombstones" Cemetery Walk in Forest Home Cemetery on Sunday, October 18.

In keeping with the nation’s 250th anniversary, the theme of this year’s 35th annual Cemetery Walk is “American Movements.” Whether it’s a literal move that brought someone from the other side of the country to the area, or a civic-minded movement that changed society, you’ll hear about it as our actors bring the dearly departed to life and tell their stories.

Visitors will be led through this historic and beautiful cemetery by trained guides who will point out impressive monuments, mysterious symbols, and burial traditions that span 150 years.  At intervals throughout the walk, actors will bring to life famous, obscure and infamous people who have left their mark on our community and the wider world.

Tours will depart…
