Did you know at one time Oak Hill Cemetery had a lake? It was later drained and converted to burial spaces but the area has a rich and diverse ethnic history. Walk with us as we share the history from this time period.
Weather permitting. Meet at the grassy area south of the Douglas family mausoleum. The tour will require walking on uneven surfaces at a leisurely pace so please wear appropriate footwear. Reservations not required.
