Phillips-Gilbert Cemetery Tour

Calling all taphophiles! Join the Old Colony History Museum’s Dr. Bill Hanna for a guided walk through two of Taunton’s oldest cemeteries. These adjacent burying grounds date back to the 1700s and feature stories of local sea captains, soldiers, and enslaved people. Tours are approximately one hour; light rain or shine. We encourage appropriate footwear for paved/unpaved terrain and a bottle of water.

Tickets are free for members and $10 for not-yet-members. To receive weather-related updates and parking instructions, a ticket purchase is required.
