Join members of the Board of Preservation Burlington for a walking/talking tour of Lakeview Cemetery, which will take place rain or shine at 9:00 AM on Saturday, October 21. A $10 suggested donation would be much appreciated, and cider and donuts will be offered to participants. Seasonal Preservation Burlington hoodies and winter caps will be on sale. The tour will begin at the Louisa Howard Chapel.
Among those buried at Lakeview are Civil War Generals O.O. Howard, William H. Henry, William Wells, and George J. Stannard. State Governors Urban Woodbury and Harold J. Arthur are also interred there, as are a number of Burlington's former mayors. Notable women include Theodora Peck, Mary C Alafat Arthur, Erna Neumann Heininger, and Louisa Howard. We'll have historians from Shelburne Museum and the General Stannard House to tell us more about generals Howard and Stannard, and you'll hear all about Horatio Nelson Jackson's epic cross-country automobile trip – years before that was even a thing! Plus hear which famous serial killer's family are buried here and more!
