The Gilded Age Residents of Cedar Grove Cemetery | Walking Tour

"A Walk in the Park" is a series of events highlighting heritage sites throughout the Thames River Heritage Park.

About
The Gilded Age of the late 19th and early 20th centuries was a time of both great wealth and great poverty and people from all along this socio-economic spectrum called New London home during that time. This tour will feature stories of some of New London's most powerful, politically connected and wealthiest residents, who are now permanent residents of Cedar Grove Cemetery. We'll also talk about Victorian death, burial and funerary customs and some of the not-so-elite and newer immigrants who kept industry humming in this time period and now are buried at Cedar Grove.
