DETAILS

Join HCLA's favorite historian and Honorary Alumni David Heighway as he shares stories of soldiers and celebrities and tells us tales of grave robbing and murder in one of Hamilton County's most scenic and historic cemeteries. Crownland Cemetery was created in 1867 to be a landscaped, park-like place for people to inter their loved ones. After 155 years, it has become a reflection of the community that it serves. There are celebrities, soldiers from all wars, notorious figures, and evocative grave markers. This tour will explore some of the many stories about the people that are here. As a special bonus for this BackStage Pass, your registration also includes a copy of David's book, Hidden History of Hamilton County, Indiana (2021).
