Faribault’s Oak Ridge Cemetery is a gem, and is the final resting place of many of the area’s earliest settlers. Come learn how the cemetery was formed, how it was run, and how it is being preserved for future generations to utilize and enjoy. Learn about some of the key people and families who did the groundwork to make Faribault and Rice county the wonderful place it is today.

Tom Rent, an Oak Ridge volunteer, will lead the presentation and will share stories, photos, headstone symbology, preservation methods, and plans to maintain Oak Ridge far into the future.

This program is free to members, and $5 for non-members. To Reserve your spot please call 507-332-2121 or stop into the museum.
