This October, the ghosts of the Old Episcopal Burying Ground will rise for one very special evening. On October 18, LexHistory will present “Dinner with the Dead” a unique living history event in Downtown Lexington. Featuring interpreters telling the stories of real individuals buried in the cemetery, music, food, and family activities, this annual event will become a Halloween tradition in Lexington. Originally sponsored by the Fayette County Cemetery Trust, a now inactive organization which works to preserve the history of Lexington’s burial grounds, Dinner with the Dead was last held in 2009.
