Cathleen’s Walk The adventure begins with a drive to the William Clark Plot.  Walking to the ideal way to observe the cemetery.  It is easy to view monuments and take in the scenic view.  After checking out William Clark’s family plot, we will visit the graves of three Civil War participants and an African American doctor who changed health care in St. Louis.  Down the road, there are two suffragists.  Across the street is the Hempstead family plot which is the oldest in the cemetery.  Hidden under some trees, we’ll discover a statue of a seven year old bot looking dapper in his knickers and well as an iron cross revealing the last name of Chouteau.  By telling their stories and visiting their graves, I hope to keep their memories alive. ♦   Space is limited and reservations are required♦   Walking terrain is mild with a mixture of hard and soft surfaces♦   Please wear appropriate outdoor walking attire♦   We ask that everyone arrive 15 to 20 minutes before tour time for a prompt departure♦   This is a rain-or-shine event except in the case of extreme lightning   REGISTER NOW!   MAKE A GIFT Tours are free, however, donations to the Friends of Bellefontaine Cemetery are gratefully accepted.

Beer Barons at Bellefontaine Cemetery Join us for a ZOOM presentation about Bellefontaine’s Beer Barons! Beer making has been part of the St. Louis scene since the mid-1800s, and more than 60 Beer Barons are buried at Bellefontaine. The city became a leader in beer production because of our location, lots of clean water, unique cave systems used to lager beer, and a heavy migration of Germans who helped make and consume the product. Our presentation will focus on eleven of the more provocative Barons. Some well-known include Busch, Anheuser, and Lemp, as well as less prominent names like Max Feuerbacher and William Nolker.
