“Just when we learned to love her most,
God called her back to Heaven….”

History becomes alive at Old Gray as you stroll through 13 acres of the Cemetery and visit with Knoxvillians from the past on Sunday, September 28, 2008 from 4:00 — 7:00 PM (Rain or Shine). Through reenactors, you will be introduced to an officially pensioned Civil War nurse, a police chief who died as the result of an accident, a family of probable Melungeon ancestry, a mother of a renowned British children's author, the father of a famous playwright named Tennessee, and a World War II veteran. This family event encourages young and old to enjoy a carriage ride in Knoxville's oldest planned cemetery. Throughout the grounds there will be artists on location and World War II reenactors.

Tour held Rain or Shine. No Reservations are required. Contact Old Gray Cemetery, 543 North Broadway at (865) 522-1424 for further information.
