Spring Grove Weekend Walkabout tours

Last Tuesday's Enquirer had an article about guided tours through Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum.

On weekends, from May through October, the Heritage Foundation will conduct tours through the 733-acre National Historic Landmark.

The cost is $5.

Anyone interested in Cincinnati history should definitely do this.

In 2004 I spent several days there taking photographs with my old dinosaur camera. Once you get over the fact that it's a cemetery, it becomes a beautiful sculpture park. And since its an arboretum, there are many non-native species of trees--including 22 "Ohio Champion" trees--meaning they're the largest of their kind in the entire state.

If you don't want to pay the $5, go by yourself for free. Maps are available on their website or inside the office just inside the front gate.
