Founded in 1872, Maplewood was Durham’s first public amenity. Here are buried great captains of industry, brave soldiers, radical politicians, crusaders for public health, and remarkable women. Here also is a story of Jim Crow, segregation, and the struggle for equal rights. Visit the Hebrew Cemetery. Learn about the great influenza of 1918. Our guides 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. Learn about funerary traditions and grave art and architecture. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:#1E0A3C;letter-spacing:.4pt;mso-ligatures:none'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:#1E0A3C;mso-ligatures:none'>The tours will begin at the <b>Kent Street entrance </b>to the cemetery near the intersection of Kent and Morehead Avenue.

That cemetery is Beechwood, where trailblazers in business and education, champions of civil rights, leaders in politics, the arts, and the church are memorialized. These are the people who, in the words of W. E. B. DuBois, "upbuilt" Black Durham, and we are excited for our tour guides to share their stories. Preservation Durham proudly presents its second Beechwood Cemetery tour! Join us as we walk through Beechwood's gates and explore the road from slavery to opportunity, Black Durham's community relations and familial ties, as well as the rich legacy of leadership and fortitude. This visit to Beechwood is a deep dive into the story of Durham!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:#050505;mso-ligatures:none'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:#050505;mso-ligatures:none'>Look for the Preservation Durham banner at <b>the corner of Cornwallis Road and Fayetteville Street</b>.
