The Hays Convention and Visitors Bureau will be leading a free caravan tour in Ellis County this month.  Historic Cemetery Tours will take place on Friday September 20th, and will include stops at four historically significant cemeteries in Ellis County.

Those that partake in the free tour will learn about Baby Alma, Clara & Martin Allen, Sheriff Alexander Ramsey, George Grant and other significant former residents of the area.

This free tour will be a caravan tour departing from the Hays Welcome Center (27th & Vine) at 8:15 am.  The actual tour will go from 8:30-11:30 am.  A caravan tour means patrons will drive convoy-style while following the HCVB vehicle to each destination.

Hays Convention & Visitors Bureau Tourism Marketing Manager Ruben Schuckman told Hays Post that interested parties need to contact his office on or before September 18th to register for the tour.  A minimum required number of registrations are necessary to provide the tour.  Schuckman stated that in the spring, they went on a similar tour with 5 people, and they probably wouldn’t go with less than that.

People can register by calling 800-569-4505 or emailing [email protected].  Additional information about the caravan tour will be provided when your registration is received.
