SUMMARY:Cemetery Tour to Vietnam Veteran's Gravesites
DESCRIPTION:Last year the historical society tried something new… a tour in the lovely Fairview Cemetery to gravesites of 12 World War I veterans.  The outdoor event was free of Covid fears and this year we are trying it again.  This year we will visit 10 or 12 gravesites of Vietnam veterans in June.   \nThe date is yet to be set\, but Sundays appear to be the best day to tour and around 2 p.m. is a good time to start.  We will be walking\, so wear comfortable shoes.   \nThis program will be free\, but registration will be required.  Call the Sturgeon House\, 814-474-5855 to register.  Watch this space for more information. \nNote:  The date listed above is not Sunday\, nor is it the date of the tour.  That is to be scheduled.

SUMMARY:Cemetery Walk to WW I Veteran's Gravesites
