Civil War Walking Tour at Medfield's Vine Lake Cemetery

An historic walking tour on Saturday, October 15th, will celebrate 24 of the 53 Civil War veterans buried in Vine Lake Cemetery's Old Section.  At each site, a short story and ceremony will recognize the lives of these soldiers.

A single tour will be held that day, starting at 10 o'clock and ending at 1 o'clock.  Enter the cemetery's bottom entrance at 625 Main Street.  Park on the roads around the lake.  Climb the back steps to the Old Section.   Admission is $5 a person; students under age 18 are free.

Guests that day are a reenactment color guard from the 28th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment. 

We are also very pleased to welcome as a special guest the 2nd great-granddaughter of one of Medfield's Civil War soldiers.

This tour in Medfield's 360 year-old Vine Lake Cemetery is the first in a series sponsored by Vine Lake Preservation Trust to celebrate the nation's 150th anniversary of the Civil War.
