The Greater Vernon Museum & Archives and the Vernon & District Family History Society are teaming up once again to offer, not one, but four Pleasant Valley Cemetery Walking Tours this summer. The Saturday tour dates include: June 13th, July 11th, August 8th and September 12th. Each tour will begin at 9:30am at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery and last approximately two hours. For this tour Lawrna has kept six of the subjects from the previous tour and added ten new ones. Even if you came to last year’s tour you’re sure to learn something new! Lawrna will share stories about those who perished in the Okanagan Hotel Fire, some of the WW1 Internment Camp detainees, the young Lonnie Mohr, the Bernardo home child Joseph Harwood, and a prominent architect Robert Brown Bell, to name a few.
Tickets are $20.00/person with a limit of 20 participants per tour. To avoid disappointment you’re strongly encouraged to purchase tickets early. Tickets are only available at the museum and will not be available on the event date. Participants are asked to wear good walking shoes as the tour involves a considerable amount of walking and standing.
