Step into the past with Midland County Historical Society as they guide a tour through Midland City Cemetery. Along the way, you’ll meet some of the people who shaped our community, brought to life by costumed interpreters sharing their stories. From Willard and Martha Dow, whose memorial at the Midland County Courthouse brought thousands, to other residents whose lives and legacies still echo today, this tour offers a unique way to connect with Midland’s history this fall.
This event is a walking tour and is held rain or shine.
