History Hounds Explore Hollywood Cemetery

Bring your pup along for this dog-friendly History Hounds tour of Hollywood Cemetery, presented in partnership with the Richmond SPCA. Join the most experienced guides in Richmond as we explore the graves of rebels and rockers, politicians and Pulitzer prize winners; and, of course, two U.S. Presidents: James Monroe and John Tyler. Also, learn about the 18,000 Civil War dead buried in Hollywood and the cemetery’s complicated legacy as a shrine to the Confederacy.
