Tombstone Tales

9/6/2026 9/6/2026
Grand Lake Cemetery

In recognition of Colorado's 150th anniversary, our 2026 theme is people significant to Grand Lake who lived in 1876.

You will hear stories from Isaac Alden, Alfred Eslick, the Harbison and Lehman familes, and Henry Schnoor.

Tickets are $15 per person, and all participants need a ticket with a specific tour time.  Children 5 and younger free, children 6-12 accompanied by an adult, are $5.  We do not issue tickets for PayPal purchases - your name is your ticket.

The Gateway Inn does not have tickets for sale. Remaining tickets will be for sale in the Gateway Inn parking lot after 10:30 Sunday morning. 

All tours start and end at the Gateway Inn. Please arrive at the Gateway Inn about 10 minutes prior to your tour time to board a van to get to the Cemetery. There is no parking at the Cemetery.

You will be walking on uneven ground in the Cemetery. Plan about 1 1/2 hours from the time you leave the parking lot until you return. 

Bring your own water or buy a bottle before you board the van. There are no restroom facilities at the Cemetery.

    Scholarships

    The Grand Arts Council is a strong supporter of the arts in education. A scholarship fund is set up to offer a scholarship to a graduating senior from each of the Grand County high schools this year. Application for the funds is through the counseling office in each high school, with applications due no later than April 15, 2026. The student must be pursuing a certificate or degree with an emphasis on the arts in some form. This can be fine art, music, education, culinary, dramatic or any other field that relates to the arts.

    We are actively seeking donations to create this fund. Please consider earmarking your donation to the Grand Arts Council for the scholarship fund. Once you make your donation, please follow up with an email designating this preference. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated.
