“It’s basically a walk, you know, a step back in time, a walk through the cemetery to hear first to count stories from period actors and actresses who are sharing information about our founding families,” said Karen Braddy Lambert, a board member of FKHC.
The tours served as FKHC’s only fundraiser for the year, according to Braddy Lambert.
