The Ormond Beach Historical Society recently hosted two tours featuring historical reenactors at Pilgrims Rest Cemetery.
The tours, held on Oct. 3 and 4, shared stories of those buried at the historic cemetery, which dates back to 1908. The events concluded with a Civil War-era cannon firing.
Both OBHS and Pilgrims Rest Cemetery shared on Facebook that the tours were a success, stating that guests had a lot of questions and were interested in local history.
"Pilgrims Rest — and the many families laid to rest there — are deeply woven into the history of our community," OBHS stated, "It’s always an honor to partner with the cemetery and share these important stories with you."
