Friends of Oakwood host tour on Saturday, Aug. 4

 

The Friends of Oakwood Cemetery will present a public tour, 9 and 1/2 Generals, on Saturday, Aug. 4 from 9 a.m. to noon.

You’ve never heard of a half general? Along with the great Civil War generals — Wool, Thomas, Carr and others, the “half general” is one of the many interesting stories you’ll hear in this popular tour led by Michael Barrett. It’s a must for military history buffs!

Pre-registration is preferred. Please call (518) 328-0090 and pay on arrival; $15 per person, free for children under 12. Meet at the Gardner Earl Chapel flagpole just inside the Oakwood Avenue entrance. In case of inclement weather, status of the tour will be updated on Facebook: Oakwood Cemetery Troy NY

This event helps support the preservation and maintenance of the historic Earl Chapel and the beautiful grounds of Oakwood Cemetery.
