Voices From The Grave: Cemetery Tours 2026

Voices from the Grave happened on October 18!

These tours brought history alive in this tour at Springfield Cemetery, featuring live actors portraying Springfield’s influential past residents. Hosted by the Springfield Preservation Trust Springfield Armory and developed by SPT Secretary Michael Stevens and Springfield Armory, the tour is an hour-long experience through Springfield Cemetery. It was led by docents who take visitors on a tour to graves of interesting cemetery residents, where costumed interpreters spoke about each person of intrigue.

This year the tour was offered for free, but it will resume next year with ticket sales.  This tour was free due to a partnership with American Alliance of Museums and National Park Service.
