Moonlight History & Mystery Cemetery Tour

Every once in a while my mom hears about something cool to do in Denver and asks me to come with her.  This is what happened a couple of weeks ago when she heard about a tour being given at Riverside Cemetery for a few short weeks in October.  The tour is of the cemetery's "history and mystery" by moonlight.  You could chose to do the tour at twilight, sunset, or moonlight.  We chose to do sunset so that we would still be able to see a lot of the cemetery before it got dark.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from the tour...

Founded in 1876

The office and a small chapel

First stop of the tour, the cremation ovens

I love that you can see the mountains in the distance.

Our tour guide, Tom. He was pretty fast for a man of his age! If you looked away for a minute he'd be way ahead of you!
Picture
One of the many historical men we heard about during the tour.

Of the Tabor family, originators of the Tabor Center in downtown Denver.

I love how the light and shadows work together.

It almost looks like he's standing on the mountains!

Another famous historical figure.

I liked this one because Mt. Elbert is the 14-er I attempted to climb and it was named after this family.
Picture
The building looks quaint, but was actually where they stored bodies during the winter until they could be buried in the spring.

To me this crypt was the spookiest part of the tour. You could look down the stairs to where 8 people were buried.

The end!

Overall, the tour was really interesting and informative.  I'm happy we did it and glad that we chose the sunset tour so we could see the amazing sunset over the mountains.
