This downtown walking tour, led by local historians Elwood Jones and Don Willcock, will tell the story of Peterborough’s first cemetery, which was located in what is now the site of Confederation Park, the Armouries, and the former Peterborough Collegiate. Established in 1825 and used as a cemetery until 1854, the grounds have had a long history which will be highlighted in detail on this tour.

Tickets to this tour cost $20 each and can be purchased on Eventbrite. The tour is selling out quickly and will only be run once this year, so we recommend you purchase your tickets soon to avoid disappointment.
