Life in the Cemetery Tour
Date: October 25
Time: 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Venue: Kennesaw City Cemetery
As Fall approaches, the Kennesaw City Cemetery will come alive with the annual guided historical walking tour, “Life in the Cemetery.” Sponsored by the Kennesaw Cemetery Preservation Foundation and co-sponsored by the City of Kennesaw Cemetery Preservation Commission, this event takes place from October 23 to October 25.
This year’s tour celebrates America 250 by exploring the stories of the cemetery’s residents, touching on significant events such as the Civil War, Westward Expansion, both World Wars, the Great Depression, and the Civil Rights Movement, all of which impacted Kennesaw.
The one-hour tour covers various uneven surfaces, including dirt, grass, asphalt, and gravel. Attendees should be prepared to navigate around headstones and family plot walls.
Tickets will go on sale September 1, 2026. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual tour is available at kennesawcemetery.org. Pets are not permitted in the cemetery.
