5th Annual Walking Tour of Historic Sunset Cemetery
We are very excited to bring you the 5th Annual Walking Tour of our Historic Sunset Cemetery on Saturday, October 31. The time of the tours will be announced once K-State announces the time of the football game.
Join Museum staff, volunteers, and local historians as we take you on a tour back in time while we explore the rich history of Manhattan's Sunset Cemetery. You will learn about the garden/rural cemetery movement, headstone iconography, and the unique (and sometimes tragic) stories of some of the people interred throughout the cemetery's beautifully designed and landscaped grounds. We have also tossed in a little true crime this year to shake things up a bit!
There is a suggested donation of $5/person and all procedes will support the Riley County Historical Society's education and preservation initiatives.
