After a year hiatus, the next Albany Regional Museum-sponsored History Through Headstones Tour is planned for Wednesday, July 28 at Riverside Cemetery. This is the 11th year for the free event that will run from 7 pm to dusk. The cemetery is on Seventh Ave., SW (and Takena St). Tourgoers can enter the cemetery through either gate, and a cart will be available for those with health or mobility issues. This year eight people are being featured, including a popular Democrat-Herald newspaper editor and a North Albany-area farmer who was touted as growing the biggest strawberries in Benton County. For information call The Albany Regional Museum at 541-967-7122.
The 2021 Summer Homes Tour is set for July 31, and because of lingering Covid-19 precautions, we will once again be staying outside for an exterior view of some of Albany’s beautiful homes, their porches, and yards with a scavenger hunt too. And, like the previous summer, the tour will be free. For information visit 2021 Home Tour. Photo by Camron Settlemier.
