Ellis County Historical Society

Knowledgeable staff from the Ellis County Historical Society will be guiding those with both courage and curiosity on tours of Mount Allen Cemetery on Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. Experts will describe former citizens of Hays, who still reside in some of the oldest graves in town. Learn about the little boy who still plays with his dog, the former Sheriff of Hays who was killed in a gunfight, and one of the grumpier residents of the graveyard — the side-show fat lady.

The tour will not be scary, so all ages are welcome. There will be treats and a scavenger hunt for children. Tours leave every 30 minutes, beginning at the northeast corner of the cemetery.
