Evergreen Cemetery – November 2005 – Colorado Central Magazine
The 2005 “Graveyard Tour” of Evergreen Cemetery, conducted by Neil V. Reynolds, may actually turn out to be a series of tours, depending upon the number of attendees.
This popular event, in which Reynolds–resplendent in black top hat and long, black cloak–recounts tales of early Leadville residents, is limited to 50 people and usually sells out quickly.
This year, the first cemetery tour begins at 8 p.m. on Saturday, October 29. Should this tour sell out, a second tour will be offered at 6:30 p.m., October 29. Additional tours will be scheduled for 8 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Friday, October 28, if needed.
Tickets are $10 per person and should be purchased in advance. For tickets and additional information, contact the Leadville/Lake County Area Chamber of Commerce, 809 Harrison Ave., P.O. Box 861, Leadville, CO 80461; 719-486-3900, or toll-free, 888-532-3845; or visit www.leadvilleusa.com. The cemetery tour is a benefit for the Chamber of Commerce.
