Ashland Cemetery Walking Tour
Description
Dates: Sunday, May 18, 2025 2:00 PM
Ashland was one of the first “Garden Cemeteries” in the area. On this tour we’ll cover the ABC’s of Ashland….speaking of some of those whose names begin with those letters. Of course, we’ll also speak of the history of the cemetery, monument styles and burial customs around the time of the opening in 1865. We’ll also talk about the effect that the Civil War had on funeral and burial customs. Please dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Participants will meet at the mausoleum.
