MON. MAY 31, 10-11AM MEMORIAL DAY HISTORY WALK THROUGH WOODLAND CEMETERY
Join your South Park neighbors on Memorial Day morning for a walk through Woodland Cemetery to mark the graves of neighborhood notables. This year’s theme, “Feeding South Park,” focuses on five families that operated grocery stores between the 1880s and the 1940s.

We will gather at the patio outside the office building just inside the front gate. You are invited to bring flowers from your yard to help decorate the graves. The tour loop is just a shade over one mile. Face masks are encouraged and appreciated. Leashed pets are welcome. Contact Betsy Wilson with questions. Email: [email protected]
