Reaching the cemetery requires walking up a short slope with poor footing and loose rock. You are welcome to participate in the townsite tour and not go to the cemetery. Come on out for this great evet, to be led by Friends docent Ron Stewart. it's a good way to learn a little history of the area and enjoy some time outdoors. All ages are welcome, but small children will likely have their patience tested.
