Please join us for a walking tour of one of Lakeland’s oldest cemeteries, Roselawn Cemetery.

During this tour you will learn more about the history of Lakeland, as told through the stories of some of our past residents. You will also become familiar with common funerary iconography and the meanings behind the stones.

We will be walking through paved and unpaved areas. Cemetery ground may be uneven. Please walk with caution and wear appropriate shoes. Please use appropriate sun protection and stay hydrated.

The tour will end if lightning is visible or if it begins to rain.

Stories and Stones Historic Cemetery tours will be offered monthly, from October through March. Each month will alternate between a tour of Lakeview, Tiger Flowers and Roselawn Cemeteries. Tours are intended for ages 13 and up.
