On Saturday, August 18th the Eagle County Historical Society will present a tour of the Greenwood Cemetery in Red Cliff, Colorado.
Red Cliff is the oldest town in the county. The first grave in the mountain cemetery dates back to 1880. Over 600 people are buried in the graveyard, including some of the most notable (and sometimes notorious) pioneers of the county.
The first tour will begin at 10 AM.
The last tour will begin at 3:00 PM and end about 4:30 PM.
Actors will share the stories of Eagle County's most memorable pioneers.
Participants should be prepared for an approximate 90 minute tour, which will involve walking on uneven ground.
Tours will meet at the Red Cliff Town Hall, 400 Pine Street, Red Cliff for check-in. Parking is available nearby. The tour begins at the cemetery gate located up the hill from the Town Hall. Please allow at least 15 minutes to sign-in and then walk up to the cemetery. Transportation will be available from the Town Hall for those who choose not to walk.
Advance tour tickets are $20. There is a discount for ECHS members. On the day of the tour walk-up tickets are $25 cash or check preferred. Walk-up tickets will be available after on-line tickets close. Advance ticket purchases are strongly recommended.
