The Elmwood Cemetery Board of Directors is pleased to announce the annual “Testimony of the Rocks” Tour. This year the board is offering two tours. The first tour is scheduled for Saturday, August 14th at 10:30 a.m. The second tour is scheduled for Saturday, August 21st at 6:30 p.m. The same information will be offered at each tour, so if you can’t make one, plan to take the other.

As in years past, the tours will be led by Shepherdstown Historian Laureate Dr. Jim Price. He will be assisted this year by local historians Steve French and Doug Perks. Together the three will give graveside accounts of men and women about whom they have written and spoken. As usual, Dr. Price will offer a few colorful side notes about some of these departed.

The cost of the tour is $10 per person. All proceeds will go toward the upkeep of historic Elmwood Cemetery. Be sure to wear comfortable clothing and your walking shoes. Gnats are bothersome this time of year, so bring along your favorite remedy.
