resting place tour - could be fun

Richard Reisem, a dear friend of ours and avid local historian, has graciously offered the fallfest folks a personal tour of Mount Hope Cemetery; an internationally renown victorian resting place, created in 1838 here in Rochester. Known for its grand monuments and historical residents, the cemetery can be an interesting walk one of our days this fall.

Richard is a retiree of Kodak, writing many a speech for former corporate heads. He's gone on to publish books of local interest, one of which focuses on Mount Hope...
