Join Historic Newton at Newton Cemetery to see the final resting places of some of Hollywood’s finest actors, performers, and musicians. Learn about Josephine Hull, who originated the role of Abby Brewster in “Arsenic and Old Lace”; B.F. Keith, the father of American Vaudeville; Arnold Stang, a Golden Age actor whose career spanned more than 40 years; and others. At each stop, we’ll watch clips and hear recordings to see their work come alive.

We will meet in front of the chapel just inside the main gate of Newton Cemetery and Arboretum, 791 Walnut St, Newton Centre. Our guide will be at the meeting spot holding a sign. There is a small lot to the left of the chapel (when facing the building) that you can use for parking. The tour covers just over 1 mile and should take 1.5 hours. We will mainly walk on paved walkways, but occasionally on grass. Please wear sturdy walking shoes and, depending on the weather, wear a hat and bring a water bottle.
