The following article came to me today from the Rensselaer County Advertiser newspaper.
Living History Tour: Oakwood By Lantern Light
Saturday, October 14 - 6PM- $15pp
The dead come to life in Oakwood Cemetery as our guides lead you to selected gravesites on this special nighttime walking tour. In the glow of lantern light, costumed interpreters will share the stories of their amazing lives and in some cases their harrowing deaths. You will meet a Civil war soldier, a drowning victim, a suffragette, the wife of a national figure and many more. This is not a "haunted" tour, but it is sure to be a mesmerizing adventure.
Registration is a must. Call 1.800.556.6273 with your name, phone, and how many people. Pay on arrival at the chapel flagpole where you will be assigned to a group and guide. Bring a flashlight, war sensible footwear and dress for the weather. Arrive early so you don't miss anything.
This event is presented by the Friends of Oakwood, an all-volunteer organization dedicated to supporting the not-for-profit, non-sectarian 19th Century cemetery and its historic Earl Chapel.
