Step back in time and experience the captivating stories of the past with the Washington Township Historical Society (WTHS) as they conduct live tours of the historic Old Union Church Cemetery.  Tours will be about 50 to 60 minutes in length and will be conducted in small groups moving from one gravesite to the next.

As you embark on this unique adventure, you will be guided by lantern light through the historic cemetery, meeting  costumed re-enactors who will bring to life the stories of former residents interred at the gravesite.  From farmers to blacksmiths, stone carvers to suffragettes, and even soldiers and victims of the Revolutionary War, the cemetery holds tales of Washington Township’s rich history waiting to be discovered.

The cemetery tours are open to the public, although please note they may not be suitable for individuals needing wheelchairs or children in strollers, due to the terrain.   You may bring your own flashlights, just don’t wave them around a lot.
