In December 1868, the Spring Vale Cemetery Association was organized, and a 150 acre tract two miles northeast of the city in the Longlois Reserve was purchased. It was laid out into 35 sections, in the rural cemetery style. Come learn more about the grim and macabre tales of residents of this cemetery.
This walking tour is self guided, and a map will be provided. Docents will be stationed around the cemetery to talk about various burials.
Parking will be indicated inside the cemetery, to the left after entering the grounds.
This event is free and open to the public, no reservations required. Donations will be accepted and appreciated.

The Lafayette / Tippecanoe County Joint Centennial Celebration
Presented by Kelly Lippie TCHA Curator of Collections
100 years ago, the city of Lafayette and the county of Tippecanoe celebrated their centennial anniversaries with a series of events that brought the community together like never before. Three parades, a theatrical production of thousands, historical exhibits, musical numbers, and publications were just some of the major ways the community recognized the city’s founding and the establishment of the county. Join TCHA’s curator to take a look back at the celebration with photographs, documents and other artifacts from the official archive of the 1925 centennial celebration.
