Ohio Open Doors Warrensville West Cemetery Tour

Did you know that Warrensville West Cemetery is the oldest extant burial ground in Cuyahoga County? This year’s program shines a spotlight on the women laid to rest there — pioneers, mothers, and community builders whose contributions have too often been overlooked.

Join the Shaker Historical Society, Shaker Heights Public Library, and the City of Shaker Heights on Saturday, September 19 for a guided tour that brings these women’s stories to the forefront while also sharing updates on the Warrensville West Cemetery Historic Preservation Master Plan.

The tour will take place at Warrensville West Cemetery, 3451 Lee Road, Shaker Heights. Parking is available in the Heinen’s parking lot or across the street at the library. All participants are required to register separately and sign a waiver upon registration or arrival.

Brought to you by the Ohio History Connection, Ohio Open Doors is a statewide event when local sponsors open their historic buildings and landmarks to the public for special tours and programs for free. Join us in honoring the history, design and stories of our historic place! Learn more about Ohio Open Doors at ohiohistory.org/ood.
