The Shelby County Public Library presents a spirited historical walking tour of Forest Hill Cemetery, 704 Morris Ave., on Wednesday, from 6:30-8 pm.
Visit the graves of some of the many interesting people buried here: the famous and infamous, the recently deceased and long-gone goners. Donna Dennison, Head of the Genealogy & History Department, will lead the tour.
Please dress appropriately for the weather and walking terrain.
Forest Hill is the largest cemetery in our county and offers tremendous heritage and history. An association was formed in 1884 to develop a new cemetery when the Old City Cemetery became inadequate for the needs of the growing community. By April, 30 stockholders had subscribed at $500 each. Thirty-five acres were purchased from David Walker and Forest Hill Cemetery was platted in May of 1885.
The library’s Genealogy & History Department offers one history program and one genealogy program each month.
The Shelby County Post is a digital newspaper producing news, sports, obituaries and more without a pay wall or subscription needed.
