The
Alton Cemetery comes alive with living history at the annual Vintage Voices
heritage program. Visitors will be able to walk down the shaded paths of the
historic Alton Cemetery and meet the men and women who lived in the Alton area during
the 19th and early 20th century. Members of the Alton Little Theater and the YWCA
will portray ten individuals who lived, worked, or in some significant way had
an impact on Alton's history. The reenactors take position near the gravesite of the
person that they have chosen to portray and entertain their audiences with first
person accounts of true tales of Alton’s past. By choosing to portray a
diverse group of historical characters who the general public is unfamiliar with, the
organizers of Vintage Voices are able to give its visitors a unique perspective
of what life was like in Alton's past.
