See more of the the history, architecture, and personages of Chillicothe’s most scenic cemetery, Grandview Cemetery…after you may have experienced another aspect of it in Memorial Day commemorations.

The 1-1/2 hour leisurely walking tour begins at 2pm Saturday, June 3rd at the Renick stone wall, with parking and a restroom available there.

Local historian and guide Kevin Coleman will speak on the graveyard that was there before the cemetery, the funerary architecture and symbolism in the monuments, the history around the site, the geology of the location, a historic quarry, and even what you see in the grand views.

Tickets for Kevin’s tour are $7 for adults…and $5 for children wanting to learn.
