Museum of the San Ramon Valley's Annual Spring Cemetery Tour

 Come and "meet" some of Danville's earliest residents who are buried at the Alamo Cemetery in Danville.  The Museum of the San Ramon Valley is hosting its annual Spring Tour of the Alamo Cemetery.   Participants should meet at 10 am at the front gate of the Cemetery located at the end of El Portal near La Gonda Way in Danville.   

 Museum docents, who enjoy researching and portraying the lives of our Valley pioneers, will be there in costume talking to visitors about the lives of their characters in the San Ramon Valley.  In conjunction with the exhibit Remember the Ladies, Celebrating the Centennial of California Woman Suffrage, 1911-2011, which opens on May 14, visitors have the opportunity to meet some of the Valley's early suffragettes including  Mary Ann Jones (Carmen Curtis), Mary Wiedemann (Roxanne Lindsay), and Rose Peters (Betty Casey). R.O. Baldwin (Stan Wharton), Charles Wood (Don Kurtz) and his daughter Charlotte Wood (Joan Kurtz) will also be at the Cemetery.

 The Alamo Cemetery is part of the Alamo/Lafayette Cemetery District, which was established in 1937.  It is a public, non-profit, and non-denominational cemetery.    The cost of the tour is $3 per person.  For more information or to schedule tours for other dates, please contact the Museum of the San Ramon Valley at 925-837-3750, www.museumsrv.org.
