Everyone is invited to Huntsville’s third annual Cemetery Decoration Day, Sunday July 16 from 1:00-3:00pm at Huntsville’s active cemeteries.
Cemetery Decoration Day is a community celebration and a time to pay respect to loved ones, enjoy the fellowship of neighbours doing the same, or just to experience and explore the history of the area.
“Taking part in Cemetery Decoration Day can be a time of quiet reflection or a wonderful opportunity to introduce younger generations to previous generations to help build knowledge of their extended family tree,” said Colleen MacDonald, Manager of Parks and Cemeteries for the Town of Huntsville. “And even if you are not connected to anyone interred at one of Huntsville’s cemeteries, it’s a great way to appreciate the peace and beauty of the resting places of those who lived before us.”
We hope you can join us for this community celebration at the following cemeteries:
Hutcheson Cemetery – 485 Muskoka Rd. 3
Ilfracombe – 4101 Ravenscliffe Rd.
Locks Cemetery – 320 Brunel Rd.
Madill Church – 254 Old Muskoka Rd.
Stephenson – 280 Muskoka Rd. 10

What a great idea! If I was there, I would attend. Lots of my own family history in those local cemeteries.
