Join us for “Founders’ Edition: Illuminating Our Origins” cemetery tour. Hear the stories of the area’s founding families who are buried here — names like Russell, Sperry, and Patterson that still echo through and shape our community.
The tour will be at the Chester Township Cemetery, right across from Bremecs on 306.
The tour is recommended for ages 8+ and is a family experience, not a drop‑off program.
Children will need to be accompanied by at least one supervising adult from their family or group for the entire tour. (Ex. If a mom was bringing her daughter and a couple of friends, the mom would need to stay and be responsible for the tree kids.)
