Tour of Tallahassee's Historic Old City Cemetery

Time: 2:00 pm til 3:00 pm

Location: Tallahassee's Old City Cemetery, located between Call St. and Park Ave. downtown

Description: Many people drive by the Old City Cemetery every day on their way to or from work,
but have never taken the time to explore it. Historic Cemeteries are wonderful outdoor
museums that provide a unique look at a communities history. This cemetery is the oldest
public cemetery in the city and is the final resting place for many of the men and
women who contributed to both local and state history. It represents a cross section of
Tallahassee’s population in the 19th century – slaves and planters, governors and store
clerks, war veterans and yellow fever victims, just to name a few!
Come join us in our exploration of this great local historical resource! Please dress appropriately
and bring a bottle of water. All ages are welcome! For more information
