Alright, this blog column deserves at least one post. I took my 9 yr. old daughter this this as well. It was great! Tickets were nearly sold out. I thought it would be mostly an older crowd, but it was nice to see many college aged kids as well. My daughter loved it., as did I. If you’ve never walked this cemetary (if you like that kind of thing), it is pretty amazing — headstones and monuments are pieces of art, other names like Proctor, Gualt, etc., remind you of things past. The character re-enactments were impressive. Well done Tacoma Hitorical Society.
