The local family history group Family Ties will be hosting its fourth Cemetery Stroll honouring those than came before us, and who lie in Dauphin’s Riverside Cemetery.

On May 28, Family Ties will host a self-guided tour within specific areas of the cemetery that will allow visitors to read and learn about the people that helped shape Dauphin and district.

Sixteen individuals will be spotlighted in the general cemetery blocks and an additional 15 graves of the airmen who met their death while training here in Dauphin during the war years of 1941 to 1945 will make up this year’s Cemetery Stroll.

This is a great opportunity to learn about some of the historical people and their lives while paying your respects to those that you may personally know.

The Cemetery Stroll begins at 1 p.m. on May 28, and concludes at approximately 4 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, an alternate date is set for the following Sunday, June 4.

Members of the Family Ties group will be in attendance.

This is a free event to attend. A registration table will be set up for guests to sign in. A donation jar will be at the registration table for those that wish to make a contribution. Guests are encouraged to wear appropriate footwear, wear, headwear if needed, and bring along water for yourself.
