Hi, everyone. The annual “Ghosts and Gravestones” Cemetery tour is set for the evenings of November 6th and November 12th, at the Old La Grange City Cemetery. The early history of La Grange will come alive as Anchor Club members share informative and entertaining details about the lives and deaths of 21 prominent citizens of Fayette County. Those profiled on Sunday, November 6th will include Maria Prause, Tibbie Dimon Freidberger, Dr. Charles Kinkaid, Johanna Schmidt Kirsch, Louis Wicke, Justine Streithoff, Gertrude Huettel, Florence Alexander, Peter Carl Von Rosenberg, and Elizabeth Chandler Day.

All activities will begin under the tents located just inside the cemetery gates at the College Street entrance. The purchase of a $10.00 ticket will include a tour plus a delightful dessert and beverage! Each tour group will be limited to 15 people plus a tour guide and will be scheduled on the quarter hour beginning at 5:30 p.m. each night. Dessert can be enjoyed ahead of the tour or after its completion. The last tour each night is at 7:00 p.m. This event will benefit the Anchor Club of La Grange and the Fayette Heritage Museum & Archives. Tickets are available at the Fayette Public Library during regular hours. Purchase your tickets early and you will be able to pick your preferred evening, tour and time.
