Heidi Hamer is the tour guide/storyteller for the upcoming ‘Stories in Stone” tours at Oakwood Cemetery. The second tour for this summer will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 23, and the tours are sponsored by the Geneseo Historical Museum.
The historical walks begin and end at Muzzy Chapel, located just inside the entrance to the cemetery. There is no cost for the tours, but free will donations for the Geneseo Historical Museum are accepted and appreciated.
Reservations are required by visiting geneseohistory.com or by calling the museum at 309-944-3043.
The tours are described as a “3 Sneaker Walking Tour: hills and potential rough terrain,” so comfortable shoes are recommended. Pets are not allowed in the cemetery.
A third tour is planned for Thursday, Aug. 27.
