For Shorelines
Cemetery tour Saturday
Learn about African American history at the Beaches during a walking tour of Lee Kirkland Cemetery on Saturday, Feb. 13 at 1 p.m. Hosted by the Beaches Museum, the tour will be conducted by local history detective Johnny Woodhouse.
The Lee Kirkland Cemetery has been the burial grounds for the local African American population for the last 100 years or more. With marked and unmarked graves, it can be difficult to trace the lives of the people interred there. Join Woodhouse in an exploration of the cemetery’s lost histories.
