As the first and the oldest graveyard in Grand Rapids history, these humble monuments and graves commemorate fascinating lives of first generation G-Rap colonists. Aren’t you just dying to know WHO? Enjoy a dramatic narrative while we wander through this quiet place of remembrance. Hop aboard the time machine… and see where original pioneer settlers of Grand Rapids lay in rest.” The tour is on rain or shine. Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress to be outside. Expect the guided tour to last 90 minutes. You will be in good hands with Tour Guide Caroline Cook from Grand Rapids Running Tours!
