The West Cemetery Lantern Tour is returning in September. The event is sponsored by the Bristol Cemetery Commission and the Bristol Historical Society. For those who have not attended in previous years, during this evening guided walk through West Cemetery, you will be introduced to some notable cemetery “residents” who will share some of their history with attendees. This is an engaging way to spend an evening and learn a little Bristol history.
Please note that while this tour is not intended to be a frightening or upsetting one, two characters have met untimely ends, and this tour will contain themes related to death by suicide.
Tours will step off at 6:00pm, 6:20pm, 6:40pm, 7:00pm, 7:20pm, 7:40pm, and 8:00pm. The first tour is intended for those who prefer a daylight option. If there is significant interest, an additional daylight slot may be added.
Saturday’s tours will run as scheduled. Suggested donation is $10.
