In March, a tour of three Old Cahawba cemeteries will be held on Old Cahawba Road in Orrville.
Presented by the Alabama Civil War Heritage Trails, the tour will examine
“Old Cahawba’s three cemeteries tell many stories,” states the event page. “Imposing monuments of antebellum social and economic elite, plain memorial stones of Union army prisoners of war, and unmarked resting places of African-Americans all speak to the rich diversity of Alabama’s early state capitol.”
Admission to the event is $8 and will be held on on March 2 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at 9518 Cahaba Road in Orrville.
The Selma Sun recently featured efforts to repair headstones at Old Cahawba damaged by vandals 60 years ago. Read about that here.
