Fatality’s Last Stand

Through grief and grace, this tour explores the cost of epidemics, the stigma of disease, and the quiet strength of human compassion.

Join us for an immersive lantern-lit journey through Mount Bethel Cemetery. This one-hour historic walking tour weaves together fragile threads of life and death, through powerful, poetic monologues. Each character embodies a moment in time shaped by illness, misfortune, or the invisible forces of public health crises, giving voice to the silenced and forgotten.

Hear the stories of souls claimed by typhoid, tuberculosis, diphtheria, Spanish flu, and tragic misfortune – each revealing the heartache, fear, and resilience that shaped their final days.

Part historical reflection, part lyrical lamentation, Fatality’s Last Stand is a poetic reckoning with the past – and a fierce promise to the future. For those who bore witness. For those who endured. And for those brave enough to remember.

This is . . . Fatality’s Last Stand.
