Twilight Tours of Lakeview Cemetery

Embark on an evening tour of Windsor’s historic Lakeview Cemetery with a costumed tour guide from the Town of Windsor Museums. Guided by the light of a flickering lantern, discover unusual and incredible stories of early Windsor residents who are buried in the cemetery. This year, we’ll discover some new stories along with some beloved classics. From a Canadian fur trapper with a 1.5 story outhouse to a woman with a Colorado Supreme Court case that still shapes Colorado law today, you’ll laugh, cry and be amazed at their incredible tales. These tours are familyfriendly for kids 8+, but due to potential chilly temperatures the tours that begin at 5:30 p.m. are highly recommended for families.

Want a private cemetery tour for your group of 8 or more people? Private tours are available throughout October! Contact our museum educator at kmercier@windsorgov.com or (970) 6743532.
