Friends of Bohemian National Cemetery, Chicago, Illinois, invites you to attend one of our walking tours of the cemetery which are held in Spring and Fall.

Our next walking tours are Saturday, June 2, 2012 at 10:00 am and 1:00 pm. This "Tour of the Tombstones" will be led by our professional guide, Albert Walavich

Hear the story of BNC's founding and why it is one of only two Chicago cemeteries on the National Register of Historic Places. Learn about our impressive war monuments and beautiful artistic buildings. Discover the history of changes in monument artistry and monument materials. Be amazed at the variety of artistic angels, tree trunks and "littering lady" monuments.
