Fort Towson/Doaksville Cemetery Walking Tour
Join the Fort Towson Cemetery Association on the Fort Towson/Doaksville Cemetery Walking Tour, featuring a half-mile walk full of fascinating history. The tour will make stops at the headstones of notable, local people buried in the 180-year old Doaksville Cemetery.
Scholars and re-enactors stationed at the gravesites, dressed in historical clothing, bring the names on the headstones to life through storytelling. Biographies and histories of the tour span from early settlers to the Civil War and the War of 1812 veterans. Other important points along the tour cover the history of the cemetery chapel, headstones of the Woodsmen of the World and a number of veterans who found their resting places at the Doaksville Cemetery.
