Everytime I come home for a visit, I also visit all the local Easton cemeteries. I used to play in the one that the tour will be held. I have been infatuated with cemeteries since I was a little kid. Just finished reading "American Resting Place" by Marilyn Yalom. It tells the history of our cememteries and burial grounds for the past 400 years. I'm glad to know they do tours. It's always good to know your local history and Easton sure has alot of it.
