About This Tour
Quiet, beautiful, and haunting in its own right — Oakwood Cemetery holds the stories of Traverse City’s early residents, told among their resting places. On this respectful walking tour, we’ll share graveyard legends, forgotten histories, and local ghostly lore tied to the very people buried beneath your feet. This tour is reflective, meaningful, and deeply human — with a touch of the unexplained. We also touch on the iconography of gravestones and a short grave rubbing hands on experience at the end of the 90 minute walking tour. ️ Please note: This is a real cemetery and a storytelling tour. Best for: Graveyard explorers, history lovers, those drawn to liminal spaces Not for: Guests seeking jump scares or paranormal investigation
