Details

Join archaeologist Homer Thiel on a walk through the Court Street Cemetery, where approximately 8,000 people were buried between 1875 and 1909. When the cemetery closed, about half of the remains were reinterred elsewhere—the rest were left in place. This tour will guide you through the cemetery, highlight locations where remains have been discovered, and uncover the history of this often-forgotten site.

Begins at the southwest corner of Speedway and Stone.
