"Visiting the Past" at Cedar Hill Cemetery

In one of Louisiana's oldest towns, a history cemetery holds some of our region's most intriguing and long-held stories. Cedar Hill Cemetery's origins go back to the 1850s, when additional burial space was needed in Washington to bury the victims of the Yellow Fever epidemic. At the time, everyone in Washington was either buried here or in the town's one other cemetery, regardless of creed or status or race. At this unique storytelling event, these histories will be explored on the beautiful grounds where these individuals rest. 9 am–noon. (337) 826-3626.
