Lebanon's Pioneer Cemetery contains the graves of many of the towns founders as well as some of its most interesting characters. Led by John Zimkus, our Historian and Director of Education, the tour includes re-enactors in costume portraying our honored and not so honored dead. Meet the wife of the Icabod Corwin, founder of the town, one of the four Harner sisters, and ten year old Eliza Clay, daughter of early Kentucky politician Henry Clay and many others.

| Liz Graulwelman, John Zimkus and Mark Howard rehearse at the grave of Mary Craig Carpenter Dunlavy, a Revolutionary War veteran and one of Lebanon's earliest pioneers. |
 |
| Christine Van Harlingen practices songs that were popular from about 1800 to 1850, the time the Pioneer Cemetery was in use. Historical music is always a part of our tours. |
We still have tickets for Sunday's tour - just $10 each at the gate. A very few spots remain for Saturdays tour. Tours begin at 3:00 pm each day. Parking on Harrison Street. Enter at the Mulberry Street gate.
