Memorial Day Oak Hill Cemetery Walking Tour

Following the Excelsior Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony at Oak Hill.

Join historian Scott D. McGinnis at the top of Oak Hill as he leads a walking tour of historic Oak Hill Cemetery—Excelsior’s burial ground since the 1850’s. Scott will highlight the lives and deaths of the area’s settlers and citizens and will answer questions about those buried here.

This tour includes standing and walking over steep uneven terrain.

Parking is very limited. Some parking is available at the bottom of Oak Hill. The tour begins at the top of the hill and spirals down to the bottom. The cemetery is just east of 810 Excelsior Blvd., Excelsior. Oak Hill is steep and the tour may be cancelled due to wet conditions. Those registered will be notified via email if it is necessary to cancel the tour. Weather related updates will also be posted at LakeMinnetonkaHistory.org and www.facebook.com/LakeMinnetonkaHistory if necessary.

$5 suggested contribution.
