Details

Event Type Historic Site Tour/History Description We are pleased to offer a bus tour of several Historic Cemeteries, including Mount Repose, St. Peter’s, Congregation Sons of Jacob, Calico Hill, Letchworth Village, St. John’s in the Wilderness and more. A knowledgeable guide will board the bus at each stop, presenting the history of each cemetery. In addition, we will learn about some notable people buried at each cemetery.
