The Seymour Historical Society will conduct guided tours of the historic and scenic Trinity Cemetery on Sunday, Oct. 23.
The cemetery dates from the early 19th century and is the final resting place of many wealthy industrialists and members of prominent Seymour and Naugatuck Valley families. Many of the burial sites feature unique, ornate gravestones and monuments. Lantern-carrying volunteers will lead the tours and share interesting stories about Trinity Cemetery and those buried there.
Tours cost $5 and will begin every 20 minutes from 3 p.m. to 4:40 p.m. Tickets go on sale Oct. 10 and must be purchased through the Eventbrite website. To locate tour information, search for “Seymour Historical Society” within Eventbrite or enter https://tinyurl.com/2R3WUKU9 into your computer or mobile device browser. Links to the ticket page will also be available at www.seymourhistoricalsociety.org. No tickets will be available at the event.
Tours will be held rain or shine. Trinity Cemetery is across the street from the Seymour Historical Society, which is located at 59 West Street. Tours will begin at the historical society museum. The path through the cemetery is paved and tour guests should be prepared to walk about half a mile.
