Spring Grove Cemetery Tram Tour

Spring Grove Tram Tour
On September 14th, 18 lucky HCGS members had the pleasure of touring Spring Grove Cemetery by tram. The docent discussed "Women in the Grove" and "Iconography."

So many members expressed an interest in this tour. With a waiting list of 44, we arranged for two additional tours on October 11th at 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Last week we were informed that one of the tram cars which had been out for repair will now be added for the October 11th date. We now have additional spots available.

If you would like to participate, please email Kathy Reed at khreed@cinci.rr.com as soon as possible.
Put the words "Spring Grove" in the subject line. She will let you know by return email if you have been added to the list.

Spring Grove Cemetery Tram Tour

On Saturday, September 6th at 1:00 PM, 24 lucky members of the Hamilton County Genealogical Society will have the opportunity to take a tram tour of Spring Grove Cemetery. The tour will be led by two docents who will discuss "Women of the Grove" and "Iconography." (Note: Iconography is the study of the symbols found on grave markers). The tour will last approximately one hour.

Unfortunately, only the first 24 people who make a reservation will be able to attend. Should there be more members interested in attending, every effort will be made to schedule a second tour at a later date. Please notify Kathy Reed by email at khreed@cinci.rr.com and with the words "Spring Grove" in the subject line. By return email, you will receive confirmation of your eligibility to attend the tour. A waiting list will be maintained if necessary. Participants are asked to meet at the Welcome Center near the cemetery entrance. There is no cost to members.

Questions? The best way to contact me is through email. You may also call me at 513-295-1970.
