Sunnyside Cemetery Tours Organized by Museum
Tour One of Washington’s Oldest Territorial Cemeteries
 
Back by popular demand, the Island County Historical Society Museum’s annual educational tour of historic Sunnyside Cemetery, one of the oldest territorial cemeteries in Washington, will be offered once again, at 1 pm.  Local historian and author, Roger Sherman, will take you back through time by sharing the legends and lore of our island's pioneer families, Native ancestors, sea captains, and others who occupy the grassy knoll overlooking Ebey’s Landing. 
 
 Roger will also take you on a tour of Davis Blockhouse located within the cemetery.  Don't miss the opportunity to invite  friends, families and out-of-town guests to join you in one of the island's best tours! 
 
 Tour fees are $5 per person, payable at the museum or at the cemetery on the day of the tour. 
 
 For program and exhibition information, please contact the Island County Historical Museum at 360.678.3310 or visit the museum’s website at www.islandhistory.org
