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, composer Henry K. Hadley, and other notable figures and sites.

Please note that the walking route includes some steep hills. Participants should wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes.
