Barons highlighted at this event are William J. Lemp, Ellis Wainwright, Eberhard Anheuser, William F. Nolker, Joseph Griesedieck, and David Grace Nicholson.  Step back in with time us as we celebrate our resident barons with walking tours though the Cemetery, great food, music, and samples of beer, spirits, and wine.
