Cemetery Stroll

Every year, the Athens Cemetery Walk brings the voices of Limestone County's history to life.  Costumed re-enactors portray individuals representing all walks of life from the county's past on the beautiful grounds of Athens City Cemetery.   Ancestors of scores of noteworthy citizens who left their mark on the city and the nation tell stories from our past so put on your walking shoes and bring your family to participate in this fascinating, outdoor theatrical program.

We are pleased to announce....

The 2019 Athens Cemetery Stroll - Bicentennial Event has been scheduled for October 6th from 2:00PM-5:00PM.
Would you like to help make this event possible?
We're looking for volunteers to portray historic figures, help with setup and takedown, planning -- or whatever your special skill might be that could help out.
