Mausoleum Tour
A Mausoleum and More tour hosted by the Fenton History Center in Lake View Cemetery is pictured. This year's tours will be held Oct. 11.
The Fenton History Center's Mausoleum and More tours of Lake View Cemetery are Oct. 11 from 6:30 to 9 p.m., stepping off each half hour.
The tours are about an hour long and feature a treat and warm cider at the end. Lake View Cemetery allows the Fenton History Center to use the cemetery to tell local history through the tours.
"The mausoleum tours are growing every year," said Joni Blackman, Fenton History Center executive director, "We have a full cast of actors to tell the history and life stories of the past residents interred in the mausoleums. No other time is the public allowed to see inside the mausoleums. The Fenton mausoleum will be featured, with the Governor and Mrs. Fenton telling their story."
The Saints and Sinners Cemetery Tours and the Mausoleum and More Tours are the signature fundraising events for the Fenton History Center.
Sponsors are Rodgers Land Surveying, Weber Knapp, Ahlstrom Schaeffer, Jamestown Area Federal Credit union, FSC and Lind Funeral Home.
The non-refundable cost is $20 for members and $25 for non-members. The tours are held rain or shine. Visit the Fenton History Center website at www.fentonhistorycenter.org/ss or call 716-664-6256 to purchase tickets.
