Walpole Historical Society Cemetery Tour Saturday, September 25 at 3:00 PM.
On Saturday, September 25, our funeral director will lead the tour through the beautiful and historic Old Walpole Cemetery, stopping at the graves of former Walpoleans along the way. At these gravesites, actors will portray characters from the past, telling the stories of their lives. In several cases, the actor is an actual descendent of the person being represented.
This is the fourth presentation of the popular cemetery tour, the first was during the 2002 Walpole 250 Celebration.
Come step back in time and meet some of Walpole’s most fascinating characters – John Kilburn, Benjamin Bellows, Abigail Richardson, Rebecca Bellows, and others. And for you children – it’s not scary!
Admission is free. The tour will meet at the Walpole School parking lot rain or shine. This is a walking tour with several steep hills. Wear comfortable shoes. A reception with refreshments will follow at the school.
