Anyone who would like to learn some local history about residents who lived in Jefferson and Greene County, a special program is happening this weekend.

The Thomas Jefferson Gardens of Greene County is hosting its second historic Cemetery Walk at the Jefferson Municipal Cemetery this Sunday at 2pm. Attendees are to meet at the Welcome Center and then they can either drive or walk to the cemetery. They are also supposed to bring a lawn chair and a bottle of water.

Dianne Piepel will give a guided tour of about 12 headstones of individuals who are laid to rest there, including John and Happy Gallup, who were the grandparents of the famous pollster George Gallup; and Dr. Charles Enfield, who was a local doctor in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Piepel will also talk about the different types of stones that were used, lettering and carvings seen on the grave markers and their meaning.
