Talking Tombstones Tour
Spend an afternoon with the founders and ancestors residing in the Enterprise City Cemetery. Participants will learn about the history of the cemetery from its establishment to its current status as an Alabama Historic Cemetery. Afterwards ticket holders will be shown the proper way to clean headstones without damage, how to do headstone rubbings (and take their creations home), before taking a tour of the cemetery. Tours will feature the founders you’ve heard about but also highlight residents that may be new to you but not to Enterprise. This walk though the cemetery will also point out stones still not repaired from tornado damage and give you a first hand view of the work needed to restore the resting place of those that came before us. This event will be outside and rain or shine so please dress accordingly. Most of our staff will be in period costume and we encourage you to do the same!
Cemetery Preservation Fund
A portion of ticket proceeds from Midnight Margaritas 23 is earmarked for the The Cemetery Preservation Fund and is apart of the Pea River Historical & Genealogical Society (501c(3) nonprofit). It was established in order to aid in the preservation of cemeteries in the Pea River Area. The current priority for the fund this year is the Enterprise City Cemetery and John’s Chapel AME Church Cemetery.
