The Richmond Hill Historical Society presents its fourth production of Spirits Alive! at Maple Grove Cemetery. This is a very popular event and is updated every year with different stories and actors. Come join us for an interactive walking tour where you will meet costumed actors in the older section of the Cemetery and listen to them as they recall their characters' lives and tell their characters' stories. There will be more than 30 actors in period costume. Meet musicians, authors, actors, missionaries, inventors and ordinary people who have tales to tell. Meet some of the cartoon characters created by cartoonists buried at Maple Grove. The era spans from the 1800's to the 1950's.

The cost is $5.00 per person and children under 12 are free.
