2021 Cemetery Walk: Essential Workers from an Earlier Pandemic

  • Oak Hill Cemetery Oakridge Road Neenah, WI United States (map)

We’ve all experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, but how did our ancestors face the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918? The 2021 annual cemetery walk at Oak Hill Cemetery will focus on the essential workers who kept life going in Neenah during that historic time in our past. Join us as our costumed re-enactors present the stories of Mayor Bill Clark, nurse Mathilda Krueger Lamping, librarian Ida Kellogg, Dr. Irving Ozanne, and a conversation between Police Chief Charles Watts and Fire Chief George Christoph.

Suggested donation of $5/person or $10/car load.
