Join us on Wednesday, October 1 for our deTour of Lexington's Old Episcopal Burying Ground, one of Lexington’s earliest cemeteries. Established in 1832 by Christ Church, this historic cemetery is the final resting place of many of Lexington's eminent 19th-century citizens.

Within months of its founding, the burying ground became the site of tragedy during the 1833 cholera epidemic, which claimed more than 500 lives in Lexington — including a third of Christ Church’s congregation. By 1850, over 400 burials had taken place here, many tied to the cholera outbreaks of 1833 and 1849.

As part of this special deTour, we’ll also step inside the caretaker's house — a rare chance to see this historic structure up close!
