The Geneva Historical Society is now Historic Geneva. Same mission, new name.
Join Historic Geneva curator John Marks and board member Eric Lewis for a tour of St. Patrick's Cemetery in Geneva. This is the third tour Historic Geneva has run of the cemetery since 2019. This installment will include 20th-century burials in the cemetery, primarily of second- and third-generation Irish and Italian immigrants to the community. Associated with St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church (now part of Our Lady of Peace Parish), the burials at St. Patrick's are mostly of the city's early Catholic immigrants and their descendants.
The tour takes place rain or shine. Reservations are recommended but not required. Tickets are $5 per person and can be purchased in advance on the event page of the Historic Geneva website through 5 p.m. on October 23. Admission can also be paid for at the cemetery on the day of the tour with exact change or a check. Visit historicgeneva.org or call the Historic Geneva office at 315-789-5151 for more information.
Historic Geneva, formerly the Geneva Historical Society, tells the stories of Geneva, New York at the Geneva History Museum, Rose Hill Mansion, and Johnston House, and online at historicgeneva.org. Historic Geneva's offices are at 543 South Main Street, Geneva, NY.
