This year’s “Coming Alive” cemetery tour features a return to Mound Cemetery, but new characters! Each year our “coming alive” tour brings to life several interesting individuals buried in local cemeteries through living history interpreters. These interpreters give voice to the day-to-day life, extraordinary events, or intriguing connections throughout the cemetery. You and your family will be able to listen to historical accounts, ask questions, and walk away with a deeper understanding of our local history.
