HISTORY SATURDAY - SECOND SATURDAY OF THE MONTH
Jacksonville Historic Cemetery Tours - May through September 2013

All New Topics for 2013

Our History Saturday Program, first offered in 2011, has proven too be so popular and successful that we will be offering it once again in 2013. This year’s program will feature all new topics and subjects that we know you’ll find to be fun, informative and interesting. The tour will start promptly at 10:00 a.m. and take approximately 90 minutes to complete. Each month a new topic will be covered with visits to the gravesites of many of the early residents of Jacksonville and the Rogue Valley. Learn about Jacksonville's early doctors and business leaders, Courtship and Love, Scandalous Stories and the Mysteries and Myths of the cemetery.

This is a walking tour so be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather. Tour may not be suitable for young children. Please meet your docents at the Sexton’s Tool House at the top of the Cemetery Road. Parking is available within the cemetery grounds.

The tours are free and no advance registration is required. Donations may be made and are always appreciated and help support educational programs such as this, as well as our ongoing restoration and preservation work in the cemetery.
