Join the Friends of Jacksonville’s Historic Cemetery on Saturday, August 13 at 10 a.m. when we visit the Jewish Section of our Pioneer Cemetery. This will be our Fifth Program in the series that runs through December 10. Hear the history of the Jewish Community that played an important role in Jacksonville’s early days. Learn of their traditions and burial customs followed by a short tour of the Jewish Section. Meet your Docents at the top of Cemetery Road by the flag pole.
Wear walking shoes and dress for the weather. Donations are always appreciated and help support educational programs and ongoing cemetery restoration projects.
