Lanterns & Tombstones Cemetery Walk coming Friday, August 1st at 7 pm CT.
The Fourth Season of Cemetery Walking Tour will take place Friday night, August 1, in conjunction with “Columbia Nights,” formerly “To-the-Nines” downtown event.
Dave Thomas and Mike Watson will lead participants through various parts of Union Cemetery, pointing out bits of interesting lore along the way.
This is a walking tour through the historic cemetery and participants are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes, bring a jacket if it is cool, and your enthusiasm. Small flashlights will be provided to aid you in winding your way on the Tour.
The Tour will take place each month throughout the year—April through September, culminating with the annual Silent City Tour of 2025 in October. Each month the Tour and narration will be different from previous months.
There will be some specific information repeated each month for emphasis and to inform those who have not previously attended.
This Tour is in the Union Cemetery, located at 174 Milltown Church Road, out highway 80, West of Columbia, turn right onto Milltown Church Road and proceed a very short distance to the cemetery, which is on the right of the road.
Hope to see you there!
