Historic Oakwood Cemetery Walking Tour Canceled due to heat

Hosted by: Vegan CNY

Sunday, June 22 – “Everything’s Fine in 59″ Come along with one of the more eccentric residents of Oakwood, meet Miss Mae Wallace McCastline as she introduces us to some of her neighbors in Section 59. Miss McCastline (aka Sue Greehagen) will tell the stories of three mayors, a horseman, an artist, a gentleman who foolishly joked about an iceberg, and many other equally fascinating people.

Join us Sunday, June 22nd- the tour starts promptly @ 2PM. Don’t be late!
Full 2025 Summer Tour Schedule Coming Soon! 

 

Please use the Oakwood Main Entrance on Comstock across from the Islamic Society of CNY. Look for the tour signs and follow the arrows to the parking and tour meeting place. 

Please allow two hours for the tour. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. We will be walking on paved roads, uneven grassy and gravel areas. All tours are free, but donations are appreciated and go to help maintain Oakwood Cemetery. We tour, rain or shine, but not during downpours or thunder and lightning. Oakwood souvenirs will be available for purchase at the tours. Check our Social Media; Facebook and Instagram pages for last minute tour changes.

 

These tours are presented by HOCPA board members and made possible thanks to the support of Oakwood Management.
