Museum of North Idaho Cemetery Walking Tours

The Museum of North Idaho runs guided flashlight-at-dusk and afternoon walks through two of CdA's oldest burial grounds. The 'Legends and Leaders' tour at Forest Cemetery profiles founders like Frederick Blackwell and Constance Cassedy, while the 'Patriots and Pioneers' tour at the historic St. Thomas cemetery includes pioneer graves and Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Ray Flaherty. About 1.5 hours, led by museum staff who dig into the real history behind the headstones. Tours run evenings and Sunday afternoons in the fall and sell out every year, so book ahead.

The move: Book the Friday-night Forest Cemetery tour, then walk a few blocks to downtown Sherman Avenue for a nightcap and trade favorite stories from the graves.

📍 Before you go Advance tickets required and non-refundable (about $25 adult); tours run on a seasonal schedule, mostly warmer months, so check current dates before planning.
