Public Education and Interpretive Activities

The Cemetery is open to the public on the Third Saturday of every month.  It is free of charge, but we survive on donations, so please be generous!  Visitors can wander around or do a self-guided tour, hitting the highlights on the map that we provide, or they can go with a docent-led tour, which is also free. The tours take between 20 minutes and an hour, depending on the docent and the level of interest...but you can come and go as you want. 
 
Please let the people at the gate know if you want a guided tour.

Private tours at other times are possible and require at least two weeks notice.  A donation is requested. You may email us to make a reservation and indicate any special interests.

For example, are you a descendant who would like to see ancestor's headstones?  Are you interested in one of the many national and ethnic groups buried at the cemetery?  Are you looking for a particular historical figure? 

You can reach us by email and let us know at:

Group tours on other days of the week may also be arranged.  Commercial tour companies are not permitted, and we do not permit "paranormal" or "ghost" tourism.  

Commercial or professional photography and videoing are not permitted without advance arrangement.  

We do not host weddings or similar events.

Please do not bring dogs or other pets into the cemetery unless they are small enough to be carried throughout the entire visit by someone in your group.
