Moorestown History & Cemetery Lore Walking Tour In-Person
Where better to end spooky season than in the graveyard? Storyteller and teacher Joe Wetterling brings over 15 years of tour experience and his own historical research to our local burial places. Our town history is full of heroes and villains, soldiers and storytellers, hardworking farmers and wealthy socialites. On this walking tour of three local graveyards and cemeteries (do you know the difference?), we'll explore the town's history and burial practices, learn how to "read" a cemetery, and hear some of the tragic stories of Moorestown's past.
Be sure to bring a flashlight if you have one, and wear comfortable shoes for a 1.25 mile round trip. While the tour does include discussion of murder, suicide, and accidental drowning, details will be kept family-friendly.
We will meet on the library's patio at 6:30pm. The library will not be accessible before or after the tour.
