Description

Visit Issaquah's Hillside Cemetery, and meet some of its residents on this guided walk. Hillside Cemetery was originally used by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) and was later deeded to the City by the IOOF. The earliest burials at Hillside date back to 1890. Over the years, Hillside Cemetery has become the final resting place for nearly 4,000 people. Many of Hillside's current residents died too young, in mining accidents or epidemics or in childbirth. Others celebrated long lives, leaving memories and descendants. Join Museum Director Erica Maniez for a guided walk in Issaquah's Hillside Cemetery. You'll hear stories about Hillside Cemetery, the lives of some of those buried there, and what life was like in small-town Issaquah during the 1900s. Participants are limited to 15 people, so don't wait to purchase your tickets! Tickets: $15 for IHM members; $20 for non-members IHM is a nonprofit local history organization that manages the Issaquah Depot Museum and the Gilman Town Hall Museum.
