Is the cemetery open for tours?

The Cemetery is always open during daylight hours for self-guided walking tours. Copies of the tours are available at the gatehouse, or can be downloaded here. Free, docent-led tours are held every Saturday from April through October at 11am, beginning at the front gate of the cemetery. We have many other special tours and events throughout the year.
