Historic Tours of Fort Hill Cemetery

Historic Tours of Fort Hill Cemetery

Some of America’s most influential thinkers and innovators are buried in Fort Hill Cemetery in Auburn, NY. Harriet Tubman, William Seward, Theodore Case, Thomas Mott Osborne, and so many others who rest within the cemetery defined our nation’s history. But their stories are not the only ones worth telling! Even the tombstones themselves can tell the stories of those who inhabit their graves. Join guides from the Cayuga Museum of History and Art each Saturday in October and become an expert in identifying the common symbols on graves and their hidden meanings while you explore the history of Fort Hill Cemetery, learning more about the people buried here.
