About this Event

A Somerville Tour of Mount Auburn Cemetery.

Join Mount Auburn docent and Somerville resident Robin Hazard Ray for a walking tour of America's first "garden" cemetery! Established in 1831, the Cemetery boasts not only a sublime landscape and abundant wildlife but also a formidable roster of former Somerville residents. We will visit the graves of university founder Charles Tufts, FDR chief of staff Marguerite (Missy) LeHand, and composer Henry K. Hadley, among other notable spots.

Please wear sturdy walking shoes.

Weather Date April 19.
