About This Event

Experience Northville's past as costumed actors bring the stories of Oakwood Cemetery's earliest residents to life in this beloved annual guided tour event presented with the Northville Historical Society.

What to Expect

  • 1.You'll move along a lights out path through Oakwood Cemetery as costumed actors bring the earliest Northville residents to life, with short vignettes at select gravesites and a clear walkable route.
  • 2.The vibe is respectful and a little eerie but focused on history, with a small to mid size crowd that makes it easy to blend in.
  • 3.There won't be on site food stands; plan to eat before or after in downtown Northville, or bring a warm drink for the walk.
  • 4.Since the event runs from 5 pm to 8 pm, wear comfortable shoes, layers for fall weather, and bring a flashlight or use your phone to read old grave markers.
  • 5.First timers should arrive a bit early to locate the starting point, check parking on West Cady Street, and stay after the tour for photos with the actors.
