Actors will be portraying real people from the history of Butler as part of a Butler County Historical Society event this weekend.
The fourth annual ‘Echoes From Our Past’ Historic Cemetery Walk is set for Saturday and Sunday at Northside Cemetery.
“We’re presenting history in the first person,” Pat Collins, historical society director, said. “We bring people, shall we say, back to life for the day. We do try to dress them in proper garb and we do have some artifacts and pictures there to make a little setting for them.”
This event does not feature any ghost stories and those planning to attend the 90-minute walk are advised to wear comfortable shoes.
This event will also be the first chance for many people to get their hands on the 2018 Butler County Historical Society Calendar for a $10 donation. You can pick up a calendar at several Butler City locations, including inside Miller’s Shoes, May’s Music Shoppe and Natili North.
