I am not a big fan of cemeteries in general, but this one is unique. They consistently offer tours of the graves of the famous and interesting people buried there, which inlcude the Wright Brothers, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and Erma Bombeck, but once a year they offer a tour where volunteers dress up and portray some of the interesting people...
