About this event

This year’s “Coming Alive” cemetery tour features a return to Mound Cemetery, but new characters! Each year our “coming alive” tour brings to life several interesting individuals buried in local cemeteries through living history interpreters. These interpreters give voice to the day-to-day life, extraordinary events, or intriguing connections throughout the cemetery. You and your family will be able to listen to historical accounts, ask questions, and walk away with a deeper understanding of our local history.

Castle Members: $10 Adults; $7 Kids (age 13 and under); Ages 5 and under free

Organized by

The Castle Museum has created an environment that immerses our guests in the rich history of Marietta and the Mid-Ohio Valley. We believe when history is saved, preserved, and shared, it serves as the foundation of a strong, vibrant community. We embrace our role as stewards of the grounds, buildings, artifacts, documents, and stories that create The Castle's legacy.

Tours of The Castle are available April through December, but we provide a full calendar of history-related events throughout the year. Archaeology digs, themed house tours, food history dinners, cemetery tours, and summer history camps are among the many programs we offer. New and exciting programs are developed each year to continue to tell the story of our past.

We invite you to visit and connect to the historical legacy of The Castle and our community.
