Architects, Elephant Trainers Portrayed At Evergreen Cemetery Walk

The McLean County Museum of History is offering a dramatic look at voices from the past in its cemetery walk over two weekends.

The walk attracts as many as 3,700 people annually. Most are school children attending weekday performances.

For the public, the Evergreen Cemetery Walks are at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Oct. 1 and 2 and the following weekend on Oct. 8 and 9. GLT’s Charlie Schlenker stopped by Evergreen Cemetery in Bloomington to talk with organizers and actors who are portraying some of the great and the humble who have made the twin cities what they are. Jeremy Stiller plays elephant trainer Richard Shipley.
