Vintage Voices portrayers gathered for a group photo before this year’s event in October. A record number of people participated in this year’s cemetery tour.
ALTON — The 19th annual Vintage Voices held in the Alton Cemetery during October had a record attendance of 580 people.
The Vintage Voices walking tours include stops at various grave sites as actors in period costumes tell stories of their role in history. It began in 2002 as a fundraiser for the Alton YWCA and, through the years, has been a collaboration between the YWCA, Alton Cemetery Board, Alton Little Theater and a committee comprised of community volunteers.
