This year marks our 90th consecutive Family Reunion, a 2-day event featuring the 20-year rededication of the Hannah Cole statue at Morgan Street Park. This walk kicks off the weekend as we welcome the many Cole family members from all over the United States to our town.

WHY WE WALK

We strive to preserve the invaluable heritage that lies within the hallowed grounds of our cemeteries.

Funds raised will go towards the skilled restoration efforts, repairing not only the physical aspects of headstones but also preserving the invaluable stories etched into the stone. These contributions will breathe life into forgotten graves, allowing the past to stand proudly in the present.

How To Participate

Register: Register to participate in person by clicking the “Register To Walk” button. Adult tickets $35, children 12 and under are free. Register before July 12 to receive a commemorative T-shirt.

Walk With Us: Join us on the event day to celebrate our heritage and commitment to preserving our genealogical histories. We will be there come rain or shine, so come prepared!

Pet Policy: Dogs are permitted but must always be on a leash and cleaned up after.
