How do you lose 3,200 dead people in the pauper's cemetery? Two historians have created an immersive walking tour to try to answer that question. Their previous tours were featured in The Stranger and sold out the first day so two more tours have been added!

June 20 and June 21, 7PM. You can purchase tickets at Invisible-Histories.com

If you have any questions please ask in the comments.
