ACHS and Thornrose Cemetery Company invite you to join us as we visit the graves of a unique group of individuals whom few people know about today but whose stories of tragedy, violence, and murder filled newspapers, courtrooms, police reports, and eyewitness accounts throughout Staunton’s early history. Guided evening tours will offer an extraordinary glimpse into why truth is stranger than fiction – and in Thornrose, a cemetery that has never been haunted, the real stories of some buried there that are far more grotesque and grislier than any ghost story could ever be. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the dark side of Thornrose that lies just below the surface.
