The DeKalb County History Center will host its annual “Etched in Stone” Cemetery Walk, touring a local cemetery next month.

The walk will begin at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 5 at Elmwood Cemetery, 901 S. Cross St., Sycamore.

“Cemetery Walks are very popular programs,” DeKalb County History Center executive director Michelle Donahoe said in a news release. “These types of events require months of research, but they are very rewarding as these presentations provide an opportunity to share details about our community that may have been forgotten over the years.”

Participants will meet at the cemetery’s mourning house for a welcome and an Elmwood Cemetery history overview. The cemetery walk highlights include H.C. Whittemore, Preston Jones, Mary Stevens, William Byers, Andrew Blanchard, John Black and the Holcomb family.

The walk, which costs $5, will be led by Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War Brigadier General E.F. Dutton Camp 49 volunteers. No registration is required.
