June 18 PM Tour: Stories in Stone

Stories in Stone: Symbolism and Iconography at Bellefontaine Cemetery


angel_statue__2_by_buzzyharris-d5b7tneDead men may tell no tales but their tombstones and mausoleums hold a wealth of information and stories.  Apart from communicating to us names, dates of birth and death, these symbols often tell us a person’s religion, ethnicity, membership, occupation, social status and of course their thoughts on the afterlife.

This walking tour is based strongly upon a foundation of architecture and will cover about 2 miles of moderate terrain.  Please wear appropriate walking attire.

Space is limited and reservations are required.

We ask that everyone arrive between 15 to 20 minutes before tour time for a prompt departure.

Tours are free, however, donations to the Friends of Bellefontaine Cemetery are gratefully accepted.
