Twilight Tour

Oak Hill Cemetery on Evansville's east side is home to thousands of Evansville past residents. Thanks to the Oak Hill Cemetery and Arboretum Twilight Tour which takes place in October, you can learn about the lives of a few of these past residents. The tour is a walking tour through the cemetery where live reenactors will tell you about different people who once called Evansville home.

I love events that involve history with a little dash of spooky. While this tour won't be Halloweeny, it will have some interesting history and the dash of spooky comes from the fact the tour will be held throughout a cemetery.

When is the Twilight Tour?

The Twilight Tour in 2022 will take place on October 15th from 5-7:30 PM.

The Adopt an Ash program will help the cemetery save 23 Ash Trees that are inside the cemetery from the Emerald Ash Borer (a beetle who feeds off these types of trees and lay their larvae under the bark, eventually it kills these otherwise healthy trees).
