Part of the EMCA\u2019s mission is to present the cemetery as a cultural resource for the community. For many years, we have used Memorial Day weekend as a natural time to present the cemetery to the public, with special displays in Hope Abbey as well as activities related to the unique aspects of the grounds and memorials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More recently, we have taken advantage of the unusual acoustics of Hope Abbey to present concerts there by small groups during the months when the building is warm enough. Open-air concerts with larger groups have been well received, too, and have now become another way for the cemetery to enrich the cultural life of our community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to these audience-related events, we also offer guided tours of the cemetery grounds, and we invite the public to visit Hope Abbey from 1 to 4 p.m. on the last Sunday of each month except December. At least two knowledgable people will be on hand then to guide visitors and answer questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parking for these events is on city streets, as there is no parking available on the cemetery grounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
