Long Description: The Mahoning Valley Historical Society’s History to Go program for October will be guided walking tours of Oak Hill Cemetery. The free event will be on Oct. 24 with tours at 1:30 and 3 p.m. A welcome table will be located at the entrance to Oak Hill Cemetery at 344 Oak Hill Ave. Tour guides will lead visitors to several locations in the cemetery, providing history and historic images. Oak Hill Cemetery began with the founding of the Mahoning Cemetery Association in 1852 and for more than a century reflected the affluence and cultural diversity of the Mahoning Valley brought by the booming iron and steel industries. Rich, poor, black, white, Protestant, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Jewish, non-believers, the famous and the anonymous— all were present in graves with and without markers. In case of severe weather, the event will be cancelled; check www.mahoninghistory.org or call 330-743-2589 for details and updates.
