The 2020 Echoes of the Past Cemetery Tours, presented by the Jim Gatchell Memorial Museum, will wrap up with tours this weekend.

There are a few spots remaining on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Local residents will be playing the parts of local historic figures in a night-time tour of their graves in Willow Grove Cemetery where attendees will learn about their lives and how they contributed to local history.

This year there are some changes due to COVID-19 concerns, as explained by

Jennifer Romanoski, Educator with the museum.

The tours will be offered at 8:30pm on August 13th, 14th, and 15th.

This week’s historic figures include Mina Strickert, Edith Chappell, Charles Duffy, and Mary Parmelee among many others.

Space is limited, and payment of $25 per person is required to reserve a spot.

Reservations can be made by calling the museum at 684-9331 or tickets can be purchased at the museum itself.
