Remember you must die.  The memorials to the dead who rest in the Old South Burial Ground, Nashua, NH, bear witness to this fact. However, most modern onlookers are shielded from the message carved on gravestones because it is inscribed in Latin as Memento Mori.  Whether interpreted as a grim message or as a call to live an honorable life, the May 3rd, 2025 cemetery tour presented by the Nashua Historical Society is a good time to hear the history of early inhabitants who are buried in the Old Dunstable Burying Ground, otherwise known as The Old South Burial Ground.  

During the Old Souls of the Old South Cemetery Tour, ticketed guests are invited to travel from grave to grave and listen to more than a dozen reenactors dressed in period-appropriate attire. The open-format tour will run twice on Saturday, May 3, 2025: first from 11:00 – 12:30 pm…
