SUMMARY:Historic Cemetery Tour - Notable Nashuans: Voices From the Past
DESCRIPTION:The Notable Nashuans: Voices from the Past Cemetery Tour is a journey through Nashua’s history within the hallowed grounds of the 1835 Unitarian Universalist Church cemetery. Volunteer reenactors adorned in period attire will be stationed at nine select cemetery plots along each of the two available timed tour loops. At each location\, attendees will experience poignant vignettes\, spoken as if the dead were able to come back to life and share their stories with us. Designed and sponsored by The Nashua Historical Society\, the tour aims to breathe life into the lives and legacies of Nashuans who played pivotal roles in shaping the city’s identity\, from community leaders to unsung heroes.  Many stories of people connected to the American Revolution and the Civil War are featured on the tour. \nThe event will be held on Saturday\, May 4\, 2024. \nThe tour meeting place is at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua’s Cemetery located at 58 Lowell Street\, Nashua\, NH 03064. \nThe Notable Nashuans Cemetery Tour will be memorable for history enthusiasts and curious minds alike.  Reservations are strongly encouraged\, as tickets are limited. https://www.nashuahistoricalsociety.org/events or tickets may be purchased at The Nashua Historical Society\, Nashua\, NH. \nTours are at 1 pm and 3 pm.  Guests may select from one of two loops of 9 reenactors\, or both loops for a total of eighteen reenactors.  The Nashuans represented in each loop are as follows: \nLoop A: Mary Conant Shattuck\, Parker Family\, General John G.
