Lone Fir Cemetery celebrates Halioween with its annual “Tour of Untimely Departures. ”
Just in time for the spooky season, you can join The Friends
of Lone Fir Cemetery for the one night when some of the
cemetery residents come to life. The Tour of Untimely Depar
tures, held Monday, Oct. 31, offers a glimpse of the lives and
deaths of the long-deceased inhabitants of the southeast Port
land landmark.
Volunteer actors portray select cemetery residents in tours
at 6 p.m., 7 p.m., and 8 p.m.
The entry gate to Lone Fir Pioneer Cemetery is located at
Southeast 26th and Stark streets. Tickets are available Hallow
een night or by ordering online.
Founded in 1855, this 30.5-acre historic pioneer cemetery
has become an important and vital community resource. Lone
Fir is home to 559 trees of 71 • different species that were
planted over the past 150 years by loved ones of the deceased.
Two of the trees are now listed as Heritage Trees by the City
of Portland.
The cemetery is also listed in the National Register of
Historic Places.
