About this Event

Meet Archivist Lewis Powell in LaGrange’s oldest cemetery for a walk through history from a different perspective. Learn which permanent residents of Hillview were some of our City’s most illustrious citizens and which stories were only thought to be buried with the dead. Hear how burial practices have evolved since the cemetery opened, learn about funerary symbolism and architecture, and preservation efforts.



Tours meet at the parking lot 311 Old Morgan Street, LaGrange at 7:00 PM.

Reservations required by 5:00pm day of tour. A mobile phone number should be provided. Tours accommodate a maximum of ten guests.

Tours cover approximately one mile and traverse uneven, grassy terrain as there are no paved walkways. Comfortable shoes and flashlights are encouraged. Tours walk rain or shine unless the weather is hazardous. Consider a rain jacket and umbrella if the weather calls for rain. It may be Spooky Season, but this tour will enlighten - not frighten. The stories and tales are parent-approved and kid-friendly.
