The Popular Tour of St. Henry’s Cemetery is Back

Our Cemetery Series Continues at Chicago’s Last Churchyard Burial Site

St. Henry’s is the final resting place for many of the original Ridgeville settlers whose lives and accomplishments shaped our neighborhood.

Our favorite cemetery historian, Glenna Eaves, will tell the stories of multiple generations of farmers, builders, merchants, entrepreneurs and artisans laid to rest in this intimate, beautifully-maintained graveyard.

You’ll learn about the founders of the community and discover surprising stories including a tragic unsolved murder mystery, the inspiration for a well-known ballpark treat, and a romance sparked by the Great Chicago Fire.

Tickets are $20, with $5 discount for RPWRHS members. Tour is limited to 15 participants.
