This latest guided living history tour of Rose Hill Cemetery features stories from Texarkana’s first decades as told through living history monologues.
“Rose Hill Cemetery is one of the two oldest cemeteries in the city and is the final resting place of some of the region’s earliest pioneer settlers,” says TMS Curator, Jamie Simmons. “Their personal stories tell the story of Texarkana’s founding and it’s sometimes tumultuous early years.”
