Sunset Tour and Civil War Men and Monuments Tour

Join us Thursday, October 2 for our Cedar Hill Sunset Tour and Saturday, October 4 for our Civil War Men and Monuments tour.

Led by Cedar Hill Cemetery Foundation's Director of Development Wendi Fralick, the Cedar Hill Sunset Tour will begin at the flagpole at the end of the entranceway drive at 6:00 pm. Ms. Fralick will lead you through Cedar Hill Cemetery's historic sections and introduce you to some of Cedar Hill's most notable residents, including Dr. Horace Wells, U.S. Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles, financier J.P. Morgan and actress Katharine Hepburn.

Civil War expert Mike McBride will lead Saturday's Civil War Men and Monuments tour. This tour will commence from the flagpole at the end of the entranceway drive at 10:00 am. While Cedar Hill Cemetery did not have its first burial until 1866, after the conclusion of the Civil War, there are several Civil War soldiers interred here. Mr. McBride will share with you their stories during this tour.

The weather for both of these events is expected to be perfect. With these being two of Cedar Hill Cemetery Foundation's three remaining tours and events for the 2008 season, we hope you will join us.
