Meet and Greet Some Early Residents
At least sixteen personalities in Cambridge City’s rich history will be explored during the 175th year celebration walk in Riverside Cemetery on Sunday afternoon, June 26, beginning at 2 p.m.
Drivers are asked to enter the south gate and park on the grass between the pine trees near the south line. Donations to support the celebration will be accepted. The walk is sponsored by Western Wayne Heritage, our local historic preservation group.
Walkers will meet in front of the mausoleum in groups of about twenty. The tour will begin with the stone of Benjamin Conklin, builder of the well-know Conklin-Montgomery-King home at the southeast corner of Main and Lincoln, and will conclude with the stone of artist Lewis Lutz, perhaps a lesser-known person. The walk will take about an hour through the east part of the cemetery and will include some costumed interpreters.
We expect to start the walk again at 3 p.m. and at 4 p.m., depending on the number of attendees. If more show up, walks will start also on the half hours.
If the afternoon is hot, it might be wise to bring an umbrella for shade and carry a bottle of water.
