TOUR DATES FOR 2013.

2013
January 22  Medicos & Misadventures.  Hear the tales of 19th century medical men, their patients and the treatments they inflicted on the unfortunate sufferers.

January 24  Law & Order, Part 1. 

April 3  Who was Who  Part 1.  This tour visits the graves of a wide variety of 19th century Victorian characters, from the ghost of the Princess Theatre, to the victim of one of the most sensational murder cases in our history.

April 3  Who was Who  Part 2.  Politicians, pioneers, unfortunate murder victims and Irish patriots feature on this tour.

(Note:  Both these tours are morning tours; there a few vacancies available on both, but numbers are limited.)

May  19  Law Week Tour.  Take a walk through this historic cemetery and learn about some of the 19th century characters buried here.  This tour looks at practitioners and upholders of the legal system, some of those who exploited it for their own benefit and some of those who were victims of that exploitation.

June/July/August  We do not run tours during the winter months.

November 20  Tour for Kilmore Historical Society; topic to be decided.

Could group booking secretaries please notify us well in advance of proposed tours; we are taking tentative bookings up to December 2013 at the moment.  It is easier to reserve a particular date and cancel, then try to make a booking at short notice, as the date may have already been taken by another group.
