The Shelby County Public Library presents a patriotic, pre-Memorial Day walking tour of City Cemetery, 154 E. Pennsylvania St., on Tuesday, May 20 at 6:30 p.m.
People are invited to meet at the cemetery to honor the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of Shelby County veterans who died while in the service of our country. Donna Dennison, Head of the Genealogy & History Department, will lead the tour.
Please dress appropriately for the weather and walking terrain.
City Cemetery is also known as Old City Cemetery and Shelbyville City Cemetery. According to county historical records, in 1824, Arthur Major bought four acres of the James Davison division and donated it to Shelbyville for a “burying ground,” which later became the official cemetery.
The library’s Genealogy & History Department offers one history program and one genealogy program each month.
For further information about the Cemetery Walk, visit the Genealogy & History Department in Carnegie East Wing, 33 W. Broadway St. or call Donna at 317.398.8144 (302).
