Echoes of the Past Cemetery Tours

The Jim Gatchell Memorial Museum presents its annual Echoes of the Past Cemetery Tours.

Walk through Buffalo’s beautiful Willow Grove Cemetery and listen to the first-person stories of historic characters from the region with an appropriate ambiance of chirping crickets and lantern-light. Guests will be guided through the tour on foot, and each night offers a unique experience.

The cast lineup changes each evening throughout the two-week run but may include Amie Holt, Billy Walker, Linna Mueller, Bill Booth, Warren “Ginger” Gorrell, Ella Watson, Katherine Jarrard, William P. Adams, Lutie Van Dyke, a telephone operator, school memories, and a Pioneer Family.

Thursday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Guests may bring a folding chair, as each of the spirits’ presentations will be about 7 minutes.

Space is limited, payment is required at the time of reservation. Tickets are $30.

Tickets must be purchased in advance, and every person attending must have a ticket. Ticket sales help fund further museum programs. No pets are allowed at the cemetery. We request all electronic devices be turned off, and there is no recording/photography allowed.
