Explore the rich history of Bath with the Oak Grove Cemetery Walking Tour—an engaging experience in one of Maine’s unique 19th-century garden cemeteries. A knowledgeable local guide will lead you through the beautifully designed landscape, adorned with ornamental trees, shedding light on American burial customs among the headstones, mausoleums, and ponds, and perhaps even revealing a ghost bridge or summerhouse. Uncover the story behind the impressive “broken oak” monument, the mishandled investigation of a policeman’s murder, and the touching memory of Nina, a schoolgirl. Immerse yourself in moving Civil War tales and the maritime heritage encapsulated in the phrase, “died at sea”. Engage in the age-old practice of leaving “grave goods”. Let your imagination soar while contributing to preservation efforts, as $5 from each ticket supports cemetery maintenance. Comfortable footwear and weather-suitable attire are advised.
