With all this rainy weather, tonight's twilight tour about "water as witness" seems especially appropriate. Stops include passengers in the worst maritime disasters of the 19th and 20th centuries, medical martyrs of a devastating epidemic and a family seemingly haunted by a water curse. 6pm/tickets available online or at the door. #laurelhillcemetery 🌊
