A Stroll through West Chicago's Storied Past: 2016 Tales Tombstones Tell
The City Museum will hold its 26th Tales Tombstones Tell at Oakwood Cemetery on Friday, October 9, 2015. Tours will begin at 6:30 p.m. and every 10 minutes thereafter, with the last tour starting at 7:45 p.m.
Tours last approximately 45 minutes and no reservations are necessary. The stories told at selected tombstones are based on history and are appropriate for families. Visitors will enjoy an evening stroll, with lanterns and luminaries lighting the path through the community's oldest cemetery, and learn about those who shaped the West Chicago we know today.
Although the program is free, donations are appreciated.
