For Memphians looking to make their Halloween both historic and paranormal, Elmwood Cemetery will be offering their “Shadows of the Past” tour on October 31st at 3:00PM.
During this 90-minute immersive experience, visitors will have the chance to not only explore the symbolism behind the layout of the gorgeous Victorian cemetery but also come face-to-face with the stories of some of the cemetery’s most popular “residents,” from victims of the Yellow Fever to musicians to the South’s first African American millionaire.
Beyond the spooky stories and glimpses into the past, tours like these help fund the upkeep for Elmwood, so visitors can contribute in their own way to keeping the history and future legacy of this Memphis staple alive.
Those looking to purchase tickets can do so here at Elmwood’s website.
