Tombstones with DCP
On All Saints Day, November 1st at 5:30pm, join Darke County Parks at
Greenville Union Cemetery to pay respect to local history and to check
out a birding hotspot. From philanthropist Fred Coppock to the county’s
early pioneers and from six US Congressmen to the only man ever legally
hanged in Darke County, these names have quite the stories to tell.
While we wander back in time, we’ll also keep an eye out for late fall
migrating birds and arriving winter residents. Whether you’re a birder,
a history buff, or both, bring your binoculars for this quiet evening
hike through the cemetery. Meet at the cemetery office on the corner of
West St. and Main St. in Greenville, and dress for the weather.
Registration is requested for this event; to do so or for any questions
about this or other park programs, please call the nature center at
(937) 548-0165.
