If you missed the in-person Cemetery Walk program through the McLean County Museum of History or are looking forward to the release of its digital program, that will be available starting Monday.
That's according to Candace Summers at the McLean County Museum of History who on the WHOW Morning Show Thursday told Regional Radio the in-person programs were a huge success after they were not offered in 2020 because of COVID.
According to Summers, the Cemetery Walks seek to tell the stories of the people whose final resting place is the local cemetery. She indicates this not only tells their stories but brings an appreciation for cemeteries and provides an avenue of education to help curb what was once an alarming trend of vandalism in these places.
Monday, the digital version of the Cemetery Walk program goes live. Summers says this is something they turned to last year because of COVID and it is going to continue on as long as there is a demand for it. The digital version will be available for two months.
Summers points anyone wanting more information regarding the digital Cemetery Walk program to visit mchistory.org. You can also keep tabs on all things McLean County Museum of History by finding them on Facebook.
