The Alton Cemetery comes alive with living history at the annual Vintage Voices heritage program. Visitors will be able to walk down the shaded paths of the historic Alton Cemetery and meet the men and women who lived in the Alton area during the 19th and early 20th century. Vintage Voices is produced by a volunteer committee and volunteer actors who bring the history of Alton to life believing that the tours are an important cultural event in our community.as they portray individuals who lived, worked, or in some significant way had an impact on Alton's history. The reenactors take position near the gravesite of the person that they have chosen to portray and entertain their audiences with first person accounts of true tales of Alton’s past. By choosing to portray a diverse group of historical characters who the general public is unfamiliar with, the organizers of Vintage Voices are able to give its visitors a unique perspective of what life was like in Alton's past.
Times: Tours begin every 15 to 20 minutes and last about 1.5 hours. The last tour leaves at 2:30 pm
