Given the current state of the roads and power downtown, we have decided to CANCEL tonight’s tour of the Old Cemetery. We love Carlisle’s history but we are prioritizing the safety and wellbeing of her living residents—please stay safe and look forward to another Historic Carlisle event in the future! We apologize for disappointing anyone who wanted to attend but hope you’ll understand our rationale for this last minute change of plans.
Thank you again,
C. Cauthon
President, HCI
