Marquette, MI – July 1st, 2016  Coming July 19th to Marquette is the 11th iteration of the Holy Cross Historic Cemetery Walk, and Todd Paz sat down with Beth Gruber to talk about all the fun that’s planned for the event.

The walk is an event put on by the Marquette Regional History Center, and museum guides will show walkers all around the Holy Cross Cemetery in Marquette starting at 6:30pm on Tuesday, July 19th. You can hear about local individuals and families from around Marquette like Bishop Pinten, the Donckers family, and the Hurley family.

Walkers will also learn about the mysterious “uprooted” tombstones from the Old Catholic Cemetery, and at the end of it all, walkers will be treated to refreshments provided by Holy Cross Cemetery!
