Cave Hill Cemetery and the Civil War
My Dear Fellow Readers:
On April 24, from 9 am to 11 am, I will be giving my first guided tour of Cave Hill Cemetery during the Civil War. I will be discussing the forts and soldiers that visited Cave Hill Cemetery during the Civil War, and I will also be discussing military and civilian leaders who are buried in Cave Hill Cemetery that had a major impact on the Civil War. I will discuss such figures as James Guthrie, Lovell Rousseau, George Prentice and many others. We will also visited the National Cemetery where over 5,000 Union soldiers are buried. The cost is $15.00 per person and tickets can be acquired by contacting Cave Hill Cemetery. So come out and learn some history about Louisville’s most beautiful cemeteries. And what a better season to have the tour then spring, when the flowers and trees will be in full bloom.
