My incredible antique store finds from today.

A post-mortem photo, a funeral card from 1890 and a Victorian Era lock of hair.

Victorian Era mourning practices may seem creepy to some. To me, it’s a beautiful way of honoring the dead 🩶

Why hello there friend!!

A couple of my 19th century funeral cards. I love collecting these and post-mortem photos. I also have an assortment of antique embalming instruments and medicine bottles. I really love everything about Victorian Era mourning practices.
Death was part of every day life back then and not so hidden away like it is today.

Murdered by Men

Saturday, October 4, 2025
11:00AM
South Gate Entrance (opposite The Distillery)
Guided by Liz Call

Step into the shadows and uncover the stories of women whose lives were tragically cut short by husbands, boyfriends, and strangers. Their names may have faded from memory, but their stories demand to be told. This powerful cemetery tour sheds light on the lives of these women, whose fates were sealed by violence, yet whose legacies speak to resilience, injustice, and the ongoing fight for remembrance.

As we walk through Mt. Hope Cemetery, we will visit the final resting places of women whose lives were taken too soon, exploring the historical and societal forces that shaped their experiences. From cases that gripped the public’s attention to those nearly lost to time, each grave, many unmarked, tells a story of love turned to tragedy, of lives stolen, and of the communities left to mourn.

Through these narratives, we will reflect on how these stories resonate today, underscoring the importance of remembering the past to inform the present. This tour is not just about loss—it is about bearing witness, honoring lives too often overlooked, and recognizing the need to preserve these histories.

Difficulty= 4

Pricing:
$15 (non-members)
FOMH members free!
Tickets will be available at the cemetery 30 minutes prior to the tour start time. We suggest non-members arrive about 10 minutes before the tour start time to allow for parking and ticket purchase.
