Hear fascinating stories of Cedar Hill Cemetery residents who met their demise in unusual ways.

Join Cedar Hill Cemetery Foundation on Saturday May 19, 2018 at 10:00 am for What a Way to Go!

Mayhem, murder and the hazards of everyday life in times gone by are the subjects of this tour led by Evelyn Bollert. Transportation with a mind of its own, constricting corsets, exploding boilers, odorless gases, melancholia, mysticism, mysteries and more – Cedar Hill Cemetery’s denizens tell us tales of the dangers of daily living in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.

Cedar Hill Cemetery is located at 453 Fairfield Avenue in Hartford. Admission to the program is $5.00 and free for Cedar Hill Cemetery Foundation members. Advanced reservations are not required. The walking tour begins at the flagpole at the end of the entrance drive.
