Join the W.S. Hancock Society at Christ Church (Old Swedes) on October 24 as we once again traverse this unparalleled graveyard that spans the centuries. If you are a follower of Grave Tales, you are sure to be wowed by the stories, the headstone iconography and symbolism that this small but mighty churchyard offers. You will also visit the church to hear the unique story of the little spot that the very early Swedish settlers called New Sweden.
Our daytime tour begins at 12 noon leaving from the church hall and our evening tours will begin at 6:00 pm and then every half hour until 8:30 pm. While you wait for your tour to begin, drink in a presentation on unique headstones and burial places to whet your appetite. Please dress warmly, wear comfortable and sturdy walking shoes and bring a flashlight or lantern. We are NOT a haunted attraction. Our aim is to educate while allowing your imagination to ignite your senses.
Admission is $6.00 for adults and $4.00 for students/seniors.
