The rain has stopped and Saturday’s Tour will go on as scheduled!

The West Cemetery Lantern Tour is returning on Saturday, September 30 and Sunday, October 1. 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.

The rain date for both days is October 1. Suggested donation is $10.
