Lanterns & Tombstones Cemetery Tour Season Four Set For Friday, April 4th

Lanterns & Tombstones Cemetery Walk coming Friday, April 4^th at 7 pm CT.

The Fourth Season of Columbia City Cemetery Walking Tour will take place Friday night, April 4, in conjunction with “Columbia Nights,” formerly “To-the-Nines” downtown event.

Dave Thomas and Mike Watson will lead participants through various parts of the more than two century year-old graveyard, pointing out bits of interesting lore along the way.

This is a walking tour through the historic cemetery and participants are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes, bring a jacket if it is cool, and your enthusiasm. Small flashlights will be provided to aid you in winding your way on the Tour.

The Tour will take place each month throughout the year—April through September, culminating with the annual Silent City Tour of 2025 in October. Each month the Tour and narration will be different from previous months.

There will be some specific information repeated each month for emphasis and to inform those who have not previously attended.

The Tour will form at the edge of the Judicial Center parking area at Merchant and Monroe Streets, and will proceed up the drive to the Historic Cemetery. We will return to the same location. Please do not park in the cemetery.

Hope to see you there!
