Discover the shadows and secrets buried in Evergreen Cemetery, one of the oldest public cemeteries in California, with an educational tour hosted by the MAH.

Bring your flashlights and curiosity as you explore the grounds with a custom self-guided tour. We will provide each household with a map with instructions and information about the individuals buried at Evergreen. From then, simply follow the instructions and begin to travel back in time. MAH staff members will be on-site in case guests need some extra assistance getting from tombstone to tombstone.

Registration is limited to one household per tour to ensure plenty of spacing as groups individually explore the cemetery. Each tour should take 30-45 minutes to complete. The time you select is when your group/household tour begins, we recommend arriving 5-10 minutes early to ensure you can begin right on time.

Upon arrival, find the MAH staffer under the iconic Evergreen Arch. They will give you the printed map and guide with a brief introduction to Evergreen's history. Following the welcome, you are then free to follow the scavenger hunt like map and travel back in time uncovering the stories buried across the grounds. Go at your own pace and use your flashlights to cast shadows and explore. We'll be there on-site to help you get from tombstone to tombstone if assistance is needed. Please be sure to wear your mask and maintain a 6-ft distance when around other explorers or MAH staffers.
