Norell says the tour is usually held around Memorial Day. This year due to new fencing and new sign being installed the board elected to postpone it until near Veteran’s Day.
Some of the veterans laid to rest in the cemetery will be highlighted, and there will be a formal dedication of the new fence, which covers the entire perimeter.
A history brochure will be distributed with information on plots still available for purchase.
For more information, contact Mountain Home City Hall at 425-5116 during regular business hours.
