We are excited and eager to partner once again with the Allen County Historical Society for the infamous Graveline Tours. This guided, historic lantern tour will highlight figures from our community that had a part in the Revolutionary War and will take place at Scottsville’s Old City Cemetery. Tours begin at the library at 5:30PM on Friday, October 2 and Saturday, October 3. The Allen County Historical Society will be taking admission in the lobby of the library. Tickets for adults are $10.00 and children 12 and under are $5.00. All proceeds go to the Allen County Historical Society.
