Woodland Cemetery Tour

schedule

Thursday, September 16, 4:30pm - 7:00pm (CDT)

It’s the return of another great Secure Lifestyles event — the Woodland Cemetery Tour. Established in 1848, Woodland Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Des Moines and the final resting place of some of the most prominent citizens of its past. Please join us as we walk through local history with researcher, educator and historian Archie Cook. As we pass through the tree-lined lanes, we will see the names of past residents who helped make Des Moines the city that it is today. Names like Younker, Hubbell, Ingersoll, Fleur and Sherman which are familiar to us in our everyday life.

Tours are 2 ½ hours long, rain or shine, and are over uneven ground so wear good walking shoes.

$15 — required $10 per person donation to the Woodland Cemetery Preservation fund and $5 tip for tour guide; the funds will be debited from your Bankers Trust checking account.

Please arrive 15 minutes early and enter Woodland Cemetery by the main entrance on Woodland Avenue, near the intersection with Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway.

Sorry, this event has reached capacity.
