Cemetery Walk With The Rockford Historical Society

Haunted Rockford’s own Kathi Kresol will be joining the Rockford Historical Society as the members share the history of the stories behind the stones at one of the historic cemeteries in Rockford. St. Mary’s and St. James Cemetery is filled with amazing stories that the Rockford Historical Society will highlight in this Cemetery Tour on September 19 from 10am-1pm!

Volunteers select individuals interred in the cemetery, research the person’s past, and interpret their findings for those who attend the walk. The interpreters are often dressed in costumes of the period associated with their subjects. Some of the interpreters also bring related items to enhance their presentations given near the gravesites of their chosen individuals.

This event is free but donations to the Rockford Historical Society will be accepted at the event and are appreciated.
