OACM Oakland Cemetery Tour – May 7

by Pat Baker

We will be touring the historic Oakland Cemetery on Tuesday, May 7th at 10:30 am. The rich history of what was originally called the City Cemetery or Atlanta Cemetery dates back to when the land was purchased in 1849. Volunteers will be providing us with a choice of two guided tours, one on foot and one in a golf cart; each will last around an hour. The space on the golf cart is limited so sign-up will be on a “first come, first served” basis. The walking tour will be easy-going with lots of stops as we listen to the tour guide. After the tour we will enjoy lunch at DAS BBQ Grant Park, next to the cemetery.  

The cost is $6.00 for folks over the age of 65 and $12.00 for everyone under 65; proceeds support the mission of Historic Oakland Foundation. Payment can be made to Pat Baker on the day of the tour, BUT all reservations for this day trip have to be in to the church office NO LATER than April 29th.   Please contact the church office or Pat Baker with your reservation, or if you have any questions.
