Tour a Mobile Treasure with ODWA
We are pleased to offer you an opportunity to tour Magnolia Cemetery.
H. F. “Tige” Marston, Cemetery
Specialist for the City of Mobile,
gave a fascinating talk on the
history of Mobile's Victorian burial
customs and the language of
Victorian funerary art and symbol-
ism at our September 2011 meeting,
We expect his tour will be equally
entertaining and informative.
To attend, enter at Magnolia’s main
gate on Ann Street and follow the
“Tour Parking” signs between 9:30
and 9:45 AM. Anyone arriving after 10:00 will just have to catch-up with us. The tour last two hours, so that we are finished by lunchtime.
The tour is free, but we don't doubt Mr. Marsten would welcome any donation made to Friends of Magnolia Cemetery (friendsmagnolia@bellsouth.net) which helps maintain this historic treasure.
As this is over a month away, if you email your interest in going to dauphinstreet@gmail.com, we'll send you a reminder on Fat Tuesday.
When: 10 AM - noon, Saturday February 25
Where: Magnolia Cemetery
Note: There is no February ODWA meeting due to Mardi Gras; the next General Meeting will be held on March 22.
