Veterans Day Weekend Tour of Chillicothe’s Grandview Cemetery 2022
November 13, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
$5.00 – $15.00A walking tour of Grandview Cemetery’s funerary architecture, history, and natural aspects, in honor of Veterans Day.
If you missed my spring tours of Chillicothe’s scenic landmark burial ground, join me for an opportunity for my guided tour of it this fall – with a nod to those buried there – 2pm Sunday, November 13th, 2022.
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 historic quarry at the rim, the history around the site, the geology of the location, and even what you see in the grand views.
Instead of heading east to the Worthington plot, I will head west to explore a different area of the historic cemetery.
Starting at the Renick stone wall, I will use my outdoor voice so everyone can hear me as we stay safe in the fresh fall air. It will be $10 for adults, $5 for students, and $15 for families (three or more family members with child/ren). Pay ‘at the door’ with cash or check.
You are responsible for your own health and safety on the tour. If the weather is more than a light rain or is too cold for a medium jacket, the tour will be cancelled.
