The Ishpeming Area Historical Society will again host its popular Ishpeming cemetery tour with a new group of interesting citizens.
This year's featured citizens will include Al Quaal, caretaker of Al Quaal Recreation Area, who helped plan and oversaw development of the area in the 1930s; and two sisters and wartime nurses, Ethel Remer, who served as a nurse in World War I, and Helen Anderson, who served as a nurse in World War II. The tour will be hosted by Ishpeming historian Karen Kasper, and will kick off on Tuesday, July 2, at 6:30 p.m. beginning at the sexton’s office. This is a walking tour and will last about an hour. In case of inclement weather, the tour will be canceled. The suggested donation is $10 for adults, $5 for students 12-17, and children under 12 are free. All proceeds from the tour will benefit the Ishpeming Area Historical Society. The 2024 Ishpeming Cemetery tour will continue on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. through July and August.
