Tombstone Tales is a living history tour of Richland's Resthaven Pioneer Cemetery. Step back in time as tour groups are lead by the Grim Reaper to individual gravesites where actors in period costume will give a brief monologue of their life as an early Columbia Valley pioneer.
These unique cemetery tours offer a look back to an era when women hand washed clothes outdoors and spent much of their day in the kitchen, men and horses plowed thousands of acres in the relentless summer heat of Eastern Washington, children walked to their one-room schoolhouses, and people's main source of transportation was by foot or horseback.
Tombstone Tales returns October 2009. Tickets are planned to be available the end of September, first of October. Get your tickets early, the 2008 performances sold out weeks before the event!
The Tri-City Events website lists many events taking place in the Tri-Cities area that may be of interest to museum visitors.
