Stroll Through History: Free Cemetery Tours at Historic Oakwood Cemetery
Discover the profound legacy of North Carolina at the Historic Oakwood Cemetery. Spanning seventy-two acres, this park-like setting serves as the final resting place for over twenty-two thousand individuals, including governors, senators, and historical leaders who shaped the course of our nation. We invite you to join our popular Stroll Through History tours, held on the second and fourth Thursday of each month throughout the spring season.
These informal, small-group gatherings offer a unique opportunity to explore a different section of the grounds during every visit. Our knowledgeable guides are eager to share fresh research and untold stories that provide a deeper perspective on the site than traditional tours. Whether you are a first-time guest or a frequent visitor, you will find something new and inspiring in every session.
Participation in these walking tours is entirely free, making it the perfect activity for local history enthusiasts. Space is limited, so we encourage you to check our official website to confirm upcoming dates and prepare for your visit. Come walk through time and connect with the fascinating narratives preserved within these beautiful historic grounds.
