On Friday, October 3 from 6 to 8 p. m. and Saturday, October 4 from 2 to 4 p.m. performers will “haunt” the cemetery and bring their past back to life. Stories will include those of the first graduate of West Point, a local Civil War colonel, an early children's book author, and a local African-American abolitionist. Live music of the Civil War era will also be provided by the group Rowhouse.
