Lanterns & Tombstones Tours—2026

Lanterns & Tombstones Cemetery Tour, coming Friday, April 3rd at 7 pm CT.

The first installment of the Fifth Season of Columbia City Cemetery Walking Tour will take place Friday night, April 3.

Dave Thomas and Mike Watson will lead participants through various parts of the more than two century year old graveyard, pointing out bits of interesting lore along the way.

This is a walking tour through the historic cemetery and participants are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes, bring a jacket if it is cool, and your enthusiasm. Small flashlights will be provided to aid you in winding your way on the Tour.

The Tour will take place each month throughout the year—April through September, culminating with the annual Silent City Tour of 2026 in October. Each month the Tour and narration will be different from previous months.

There will be two “On-the-Road” Tours again this year—in May and August… Stay tuned for the cemetery locations as those plans are still in the works.

There will be some specific information repeated each month for emphasis and to inform those who have not previously attended.

The Tour will form at the edge of the Judicial Center parking area at Merchant and Monroe Streets, and will proceed up the drive to the Historic Cemetery. We will return to the same location. Please do not park in the cemetery.

Hope to see you there!

For more information: Watson.kentucky@gmail.com; or call the Research Center, 270-380-1024.

Mike Watson and Dave Thomas.
