Tales of cowboys, lawmen, mayors, musicians, Civil War vets and others fill the Florence town cemetery. And when H. Christine Reid leads a walking tour of the cemetery grounds, she aims to bring the town’s rich history to life.
“There’s a hodgepodge of people buried in the cemetery and their stories tell the story of Florence,” she said. “There’s a whole lot of history in one spot.”
Reid leads the tours on the third Saturday of every month, October through March. The next one begins at 11 a.m. on Oct. 17.
