Cemetery Tour

Take a hauntingly beautiful walk through Evergreen cemetery while your “spirit guide” (a trained Kelley House docent) brings to life some of the colorful residents of this 19th Century logging town with their storytelling. Meet the town’s pre-eminent builder, who also happened to be the undertaker. Chuckle at the story of Cinderella, who lived near the cemetery and played a very mischievous prank to discourage inebriated men from taking shortcuts through the cemetery. Admire the artistry of the headstones and learn how to translate the symbols depicted on them.

The tour meets at the Kelley House Museum, where the current exhibit “Good Mourning, Mendocino” reveals different cultures funeral rites and customs. Pay at the door or online using link.
