Join us at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum on Saturday, November 11, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. for our Medal of Honor walking tour. During this two-hour walking tour, you will visit the graves of the 10 Medal of Honor recipients laid to rest at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum.

Attendees will carry flags to each burial location and be part of honoring these 10 heroes of our country.
