A250 - Walking Tour: Greendale Cemetery

Amid the beauty of Meadville’s Greendale Cemetery are the stories of the community’s most prolific historical figures. Some played a part in our nation’s founding and history, some brought the area to prominence, and some were just plain characters. Now you can hear their stories while also enjoying a walk amid the beauty of the cemetery’s blooming rhododendrons. Join the Crawford County Historical Society on May 23, 2026 for this one-day only event as we give a guided tour of Greendale Cemetery.

Learn about the cemetery’s origins and landmarks as well as how many of those interred there played a role in shaping Crawford County’s Legacy.
