Tours Through History

Nestled in between bustling streets and on the border of two historic communities, Fairhaven Memorial Park has been serving the public for over 100 years. Started in 1911 by Oliver L. Halsell. He wanted to break away from the traditional cemetery and provide a lush and beautiful park-like setting in which visitors could come and commune with their deceased loved ones. Join Charles Spratley, guide and historian for Haunted Orange County as he takes you on a nighttime tour via lantern light while you visit some of Fairhaven’s more famous permanent residents. You’ll learn about the architecture of their prominent buildings as well as the symbolism that can be found on many of the grave markers. You’ll also experience a rare candlelight walk-through the historic mausoleum.
