August 27, 2009 Downtown property open house Oakwood Cemetery Walk ticket sale As fall approaches, plans are underway for the popular Oakwood Cemetery Walk.
This year’s event will take place on Sunday, Oct. 4, with reserved tour starting times available 5-8 p.m. Guests are guided through the candle-lit cemetery, Northville’s oldest, stopping at selected sites to hear costumed volunteers describe the lives and times of notable citizens from the community’s past. The talk typically takes just over an hour. Attendees are also invited to the Senior Center to partake of refreshments, view displays and ask questions. Previous guests report experiencing the walk to be both informative and entertaining. Tickets for the event will be available beginning Sept. 1 and may be purchased at Knightsbridge Antiques during their regular business hours. Sales will also take place at Mill Race Village on Sunday afternoons during September, as well as Saturday afternoon of Victorian Festival. Additionally, mail-order forms may be picked up at Mill Race Village, popular community organizations, and from participating merchants. Remaining tickets, if any, will be available at the gate during the event. Early registration is recommended for those desiring specific reservation times. Admission is $10 for adults, and $8 for students and groups of ten or more. Proceeds of the event benefit Mill Race Village and the Northville Historical Society. Volunteers are also needed.
