Cemetery Walks
Each year in mid June the Society selects one of the major cemeteries for the Cemetery Walk. Volunteers select individuals interred in the cemetery, research the person's past, and interpret their findings for those who attend the "walk". The interpreters are often dressed in costumes of the period associated with their subjects. They often bring related items to enhance their presentations given near the gravesites of their chosen individuals.
The walk is free and open to the public.
The 2022 Cemetery Walk will be held at Greenwood Cemetery on Saturday, May 21st.
10:00am-2:00pm
1011 Auburn St., Rockford, IL 61103
This event is free to the public with donations accepted. Please practice social distancing while attending this event.
