Join us for a special Cemetery Symbolism Tour on Thursday, July 20 at 6 p.m. Free event! No registration required! Cemetery gates open at 5:30 p.m.

Have you ever wandered through a cemetery and wondered about the meanings of the designs carved on old gravestones? The symbols found on headstones usually possess special meanings to those interred in their final resting place. But what do they mean? Visit our cemetery and find out!

We will also discuss the impact of Victorian gardening on cemeteries and how rare prairie plants were found in our pioneer cemeteries.
