Historic Newton walking tour: Great Performers at Newton Cemetery, July 15

Historic Newton will conduct a walking tour on July 15, 6PM-7:30PM in Newton Cemetery focusing on the final resting places of some of Hollywood’s finest actors, performers, and musicians. Learn about Josephine Hull, who originated the role of Abby Brewster in “Arsenic and Old Lace”; B.F. Keith, the father of American Vaudeville; Arnold Stang, a Golden Age actor whose career spanned more than 40 years; and others. The tour will include clips and recordings to see their work come alive.

Walking tours are $10 for Historic Newton members, $15 for non-members. Register online.

Most tours last approximately 1 hour, at an easy pace, and typically around 1 mile. Wear sturdy shoes and bring a water bottle. All ages are welcome!
