Celebrate Durham history and Halloween with a guided tour of Durham’s
famous Old Maplewood Cemetery. Preservation Durham tour guides will take
small groups around the cemetery pausing here and there to tell stories of
triumph and tragedy, joy and sorrow, wealth and poverty, lives long and
short. Because it is Halloween, we will spice the tours up with tales of
death from war, disease, murder, and dreadful accidents. Learn about
funerary traditions and grave art and architecture. All this in what is
perhaps Durham’s loveliest urban open space.

Tours will be held at *10 o’clock *in the morning on *Saturday, October 10,
Sunday, October 11, Saturday October 17, and Sunday, October 18*.  Pick a
day that’s right for you!

Maplewood was created in 1872 as Durham’s very first public amenity. The
cemetery is Durham’s very first public space and its very first planned
space. It is a garden of memories and our oldest repository of public art.


*Please:*

•Be on time.

• Meet at the Kent Street entrance near Morehead Avenue – Look for the
Preservation Durham Banner.

• Must bring and wear your own mask.

• Hand sanitizer and a cold bottled drink will be supplied by your guides.


*Recommendations:*

• Wear sensible shoes and comfortable clothing.

• There are no public bathrooms so people should remember what mom said,
“go before you get in the car!”
