If headstones could talk, what stories would they tell? Join the Monroe Historical Society on Saturday, Oct. 22 for a walking tour of Monroe's IOOF Cemetery. Learn the history of the cemetery and visit the family plots and gravestones of many notable residents including the Wagners, the Elwells, the Jimmicums, civil war veterans and others. This free, family and pet friendly event begins at 2 p.m. Meet at the gazebo at Calhoun Road and 215th for cookies and cider before the tour.
