Description
From the legend of Midnight Mary (purportedly buried alive) to the histories of Wilbur Cross, the Winchester family, and a bevy of brewers, the New Haven Museum’s “Legends of Evergreen Cemetery Tour” will highlight 16 monuments to New Haven’s departed notables at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 26, 2024, at Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven. Registration for this special “rain or shine” tour, in partnership with the New Haven Preservation Trust, is 90-minutes and takes place on uneven ground, please wear comfortable shoes.
Kyle Driebeek, a visitor experience associate at the New Haven Museum and volunteer with the New Haven Preservation Trust, will take visitors on a guided tour through Evergreen Cemetery’s park-like setting, highlighting many of the Elm City’s late great leaders and go-getters.
Those who care to continue exploring the cemetery after the tour can find the gravesites of other remarkable New Haveners, including those of the creator of the first hamburger (Luis Lassen) and even Count Tolstoy (Leo’s son). Maps will be available at Evergreen Cemetery office
