This event has been rescheduled from September 24th to October 1st due to anticipated heavy rains.
Step into the secrets of the past with an afternoon exploring some of the Cemetery’s most impressive and elaborate nineteenth-century mausoleums. Peek beyond the ornate gates of these stately stone structures to view exquisite stained glass, intricate architecture, and some curious surprises. At each location, docents will offer a glimpse into the lives of the personalities who now rest in these opulent edifices. It’s the one day a year when you can learn the mysteries of mausoleums usually closed to the public, so don’t miss out!
Price: $30, $25 for members.
