Autumn at Oak Hill Cemetery is always lovely. The oak trees take on color, and the weather is cool enough to make walking the hills comfortable and bug free. Lately a number of city employees and volunteers have been working to spruce up the property, cleaning and resetting old stones, trimming back overgrown bushes, and filling potholes. The volunteer group who is restoring the chapel has recently installed several more stained glass windows, the rest being scheduled for installation in November.
It's a nice time to visit.
I have have a challenging year health wise, and decided to gift the Rock County Historical Society with the script for my slightly creepy twilight tour called Chill at Oak Hill. I led all tours the past couple years, but felt that this year was the right time to let other people have their turn. This morning we flagged the walk, and talked about how much fun these hour-long tours really are, not only to attend, but also to lead. So much fun, in fact, that even though I turned over the event to the RCHS, I ended up volunteering to lead one anyway.
This link will take you to the information page for the tour, and give you the opportunity to purchase $5 tickets, which benefit the historical society. I guarantee that you will enjoy yourself.
