Shadows of the Past: An After Hours Tour of Elmwood Cemetery

As the sun starts to set and the gates creak shut behind you, step into a world where history whispers through the trees and shadows dance among the headstones. Join us for an unforgettable journey through the cemetery, where the past comes alive in the flicker of the fading light.

Unravel the mysteries of Victorian cemetery symbolism, hear chilling tales of the yellow fever epidemics that ravaged the 19th century, and stand among towering, ancient trees that have witnessed centuries of secrets. Walk in the footsteps of those who came before us, and meet the fascinating souls who now rest beneath the earth.

This experience begins at 6:00 pm—the perfect time to watch the sun slip beyond the horizon. Wear your most comfortable walking shoes and prepare to step back in time. This 90-minute tour is an ideal prelude to a romantic evening.
