Four years ago I turned my twilight October walk, Chill at Oak Hill over to the Rock County Historical Society, and the tour continues to be very popular. This year participants will also see the completely refurbished non-denominational chapel. The cemetery is especially pretty in October, and the shadows at 5 p.m. provide a seasonal atmosphere.
This year there will be nine tours, Wednesday through Friday, 5-6 p.m., the first three weeks of October. The nominal fee of $10 supports the historical society. Tours will not be cancelled unless there is heavy rain and lightning, and if that happens, participants will have a chance to sign up for a different tour. If there is light rain or mist, bring rain gear.
You need to reserve a ticket in advance from the Rock County Historical Society, as tours are limited to 30 people each night.
This year the theme is different from past years, Untimely Ends and Deadly Diagnoses. The walk highlights some causes of death that are, thankfully, not very common any more.
The link to the historical society page is here. Go to the "Upcoming Events" section near the bottom of the page, then look for "All Events." Then you can select the date you want to attend.
