Historic Oakwood Cemetery Walking Tour

Hosted by: Historic Oakwood Cemetery Preservation Association

TOUR THIS SUNDAY: 2pm.
The Iconography of Death: Funeral Signs and Symbols in Oakwood. The headstones and monuments of Oakwood are often a story unto themselves. Join Sue Greenhagen as she leads a tour that will look at these often overlooked pieces of the Oakwood story.
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.
