[QUOTE="donna723, post: 452318, member: 1883"] We've had historic cemetery tours here too but it's not a standing thing, it was one of the activities they had during the spring art festival. Everyone piled on to one of the buses from the Senior Citizens Center driven by the Mayor (Jim) who took us to four old cemeteries, two that I didn't even know were there. Pretty neat though! Lots of the early settlers, lots of Civil War soldiers, even a few going back to the 1700's. A few even had the old "grave houses" built over them! I wasn't even going to go because I don't like going places by myself but I was so glad I did. The tour was conducted by this ancient old lady (who has since died) who ran the geneology section of the library. She even showed us how to find unmarked graves using two pieces of wire like dowsing(?) rods like when you're looking for underground water ... and believe it or not, it worked! [/QUOTE]
