Full Description
Lit by candlelight, as the moon rises, figures rise from the graves of those long past. Some call them ghosts. Some call them memories. All call them magical….
When the cemetery gates open, guests will be guided on a stroll through time. Stop at the gravesites as former residents of the “Sleeping Beauty of the South” awaken to share their “tales” during the time they lived, worked, and walked the streets of old Columbus. Laugh and cry along with them as they reminisce about their life’s ups and downs.
