A glorious fall day at Springdale!
Historic Springdale Cemetery Tours
Join us for the seventh annual cemetery tour.
This year we are celebrating the Lincoln Bicentennial with Abraham Lincoln’s Peoria Friends & Rivals.
Through the voices of the people who knew him best, you will gain an intimate view of our 16th president. Taking him down from the pedestal we are so apt to build for him, you will meet Lincoln’s partners in law and his political rivals creating a multifaceted appreciation for the complexity of Abraham Lincoln’s character.
This year we start promptly at 2:00 and 4:00 pm. Please plan to arrive at least fifteen minutes early so we can organize groups and start on time.
Tour Schedule: Saturday and Sunday, October 3, 4, 10, 11, starting promptly at 2:00 and again at 4:00.
TICKETS: Adults $10.00, $5.00 per child and the Family Friendly Price $20
Call 309-689-8000 to reserve your tickets. We expect a sold out event!
Call for school tours tentatively set for Oct 1, 9:00 -12:00.
History comes to life in this interactive tour of one of Illinois’ oldest cemeteries.
I attended the 2:00 pm cemetery walk on October 4, at Springdale Cemetery. I cannot find enough complimentary adjectives to describe my opinion of the performance. How about superb, great, splendid for a few? This was my first walk but I'll be back.... Kathy Friend
