Cemetery Tour

Historic African American Cemetery Tour with Ennis Davis | Monday, February 16 from 9-11 a.m. at Sunset Cemetery

It’s been said that a city’s history is written on its tombstones, and nowhere is this truer than at Sunset Cemetery, one of Jacksonville’s largest historic African American cemeteries.

Join LISC, St. Johns RIVERKEEPER, and the Jaxson Magazine’s Ennis Davis for a walking tour covering the overlooked history of many of early Jacksonville’s most interesting figures, including Florida’s first Black millionaire A.L. Lewis.

Hear Jacksonville history as only The Jaxson can tell it.
