Return trip to North Side Cemetery delves deeper into history
The Butler County Historical Society is returning to North Side Cemetery next month for a deeper dive into the past.
“Digging Deeper: A Cemetery Tour” will take place at 10 and 11:15 a.m., as well as 12:30 p.m. Sept. 10 at the cemetery, 1002 North Main St.
This will be completely different from the May 21 cemetery walk put on by the historical society, in which historical re-enactors portray historical figures at their gravesides.
Jennifer Ford, executive director of the historical society said the “Digging Deeper” event won’t use actors or costumes.
"This is going to be more in-depth. We're taking small groups ‘over the hill’ to the old section where some notable Butler families of the past have plots. We'll focus on three — Sullivan, Mitchell, and Lowry,“ she said.
“Prominent families from the late 19th and early 20th centuries are buried there, and I think people will find it very interesting,” Ford said.
