ISHPEMING — The Ishpeming Area Historical Society announces its upcoming 2019 Cemetery Tour dates.

It’s a chance to learn about notable Ishpeming residents including Julius Ropes, John Penglase and more.

This year’s cemetery tour kicks off during the Fourth of July holiday with tours at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. After that, there will be tours every Tuesday evening during July and August.

The tours on July 30 and Aug. 27 will be lawn chair and wheelchair friendly, as they will be more of a lecture-style tour. In addition, there will be evening tours on Thursday, July 25 and Thursday, Aug. 22 for those who can’t make it on Tuesdays. All evening tours begin at 6:30 p.m.

The tour is canceled if there is inclement weather. Meet in front of the cemetery at the sexton’s office. The cost for each tour is $5, which benefits the Ishpeming Area Historical Society. Groups can be accommodated with private tours. To schedule a private tour, message the historical society on Facebook at Facebook.com/IshpemingAreaHistoricalSociety.
