Mount Vernon Cemetery History Tour/Halloween Parade

Come dressed in your finest Halloween costumes and strut your stuff as we parade around the property learning about the cemetery's fascinating history. Stops will include some of the cemetery's most famous and infamous burials. From Revolutionary War colonels to the grandfather of famous actress and talkshow host, Drew Barrymore, we'll cover it all! You do not want to miss out on this rare opportunity to see the cemetery's incredible fall foliage at the peak of its color change!

Those who come in costume will get a special MVC treat!!

This tour is sponsored and conducted by members of the Friends of Mount Vernon Cemetery and is part of MVC's 2024 Fall Festival Tour Season.

Reminders:

• Please meet at MVC's main gate. Located at the corner of Ridge and Lehigh Avenues.
• The tour will be going offroad. Regardless of weather - or costume - we strongly recommend wearing comfortable closed-toed shoes.
• It is essential to arrive on time. If you arrive late, once the gate is closed and locked, there is no coming back for you.
• MVC is in a court-appointed conservatorship. As such, all visitors will need to sign an access waiver. Paperwork will be provided to you upon arrival.
• All visitors are required to follow all rules and guidelines set forth by the cemetery's conservators and by the Friends of Mount Vernon Cemetery. Failure to adhere to these rules will result in immediate expulsion from the grounds without refund, and you will be banned from participating in future MVC public events.
