Historic Montgomery Cemetery was the first public cemetery in Montgomery County and offered a park like atmosphere for Victorian families. There, families could relax and picnic while visiting the graves of their loved ones. Established in 1847, the cemetery is the final resting place of over 400 veterans including five Civil War Generals.
Tours begin with a PowerPoint presentation in the Aderman Gatehouse followed by a short tour of the cemetery. The tours will highlight stories of Montgomery County citizens from all walks of life.
