We see what you did there, Riverside Cemetery, and so did your deer. That’s why they've been kicking it over here – to entice your living souls to Monroe Street Cemetery after your Victorian Autumn Faire Sunday to attend our “Voices from Beyond the Grave” history reenactment tour and trick-or-treat (for the kids) from 3-5 p.m. 🪦Similar to how Riverside had a way of reinterring families from our cemetery to yours. History has a way or repeating itself, eh?
