Historical Cemetery Tour
Visitors take a self-guided walking tour through the cemeteries to watch costumed community theater actors deliver first-person graveside performances portraying the lives of residents buried there. In addition to theatrical vignettes, guests can explore displays of Long Beach history, a Dia de Los Muertos installation, and Japanese American history exhibits. Historians also give talks, and local history authors host book signings on site.
