Cemetery Stroll

Every year, the Athens Cemetery Stroll 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.

Please visit again....

The 2022 Athens Cemetery Stroll hopes to announce its date later in the year.
Please be courteous of others' space and maintain social distancing as much as possible.  Please practice Covid protocols while attending and if you are ill or have been around someone who is ill, please stay home and take care of yourself - we'll see you next year.
Would you like to help make this event possible?
We're looking for volunteers to portray historic figures, help with setup and take down, planning -- or whatever your special skill might be that could help out.
