10/15 walking tour re Civil War by Vine Lake Cemetery Trust

The Trust has rescheduled the Civil War Walking Tour for:

                                          Saturday, October 15th, from 10:00am to 1:00pm

Captain Richard Crowninshield Derby [1834 – 1862]

This Tour will still include visits to 24 gravesites of the 53 Civil War veterans interred in the Old Section.   As well, we’ll welcome the commander, a color guard and a drummer, and civilian reenactors from the 28th Massachusetts Voluntary Infantry Regiment.

This is the first in a series of Walking Tours at Vine Lake Cemetery to commemorate our nation’s 150th anniversary of the Civil War.

You will enjoy this one-a-kind event. Read more about the October 15th event in the next newsletter.  For now, please schedule the Tour on your calendar.  You’ll be glad you did!
