Hear about history at graveside chats in St. Charles

The St. Charles History Museum will hold its annual "Grave Reminders" Cemetery Walk from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21, at North Cemetery, next to Bethlehem Lutheran Church at 1145 N. 5th Ave. in St. Charles.

Attendees at the family-friendly event will encounter actors portraying some of the most notable and well-known people who have helped shape St. Charles at their actual grave sites in North Cemetery. Each actor will share an overview of their life and some information about their lasting impacts on the community.

Attendees will also learn about the history of cemeteries and their architecture.

Tours will be led by trained museum docents and will depart from the north parking lot at Bethlehem Lutheran Church every 15 minutes. Tickets for the event are $5 each - free for children - and are available for purchase at www.stcmuseum.org/events or at the event.

An evening walk will also be in partnership with the St. Charles Park District from 7:30 - 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 18.
