During the stroll, small groups of visitors will be escorted to gravesites where interpreters will tell the storie of the deceased in brief monologues. Three tours with the first group starting at 9:30AM, second at 9:50AM and the third at 10:00AM.
Among the gravesites to be visited are those of Huie Wing Lee, Gladys Bates, Nelson English, Frank Adams, Sheldon Yates, the Gato plot, the Babies plot in the Catholic section, and the Spottswood Mausoleum.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn first-hand about some of the fascinating people who have given Key West its colorful and significant character. Space is limited for the tours and pre-registration is required. A donation of $20(cash or check) per person to the Historic Florida Keys Foundation is recommended with all proceeds devoted to cemetery restoration. Participants should enter the cemetery by either the Windsor Street or Frances Street gate and go to the registration table on 2nd Ave.
Reservations can be made by calling (305) 304-1453
