5th Annual Lakeside Cemetery Walk

29 Knocks on the Door

This year's tour features the stories of five military men from Libertyville who lost their lives while serving in WWII - Lowell Acox, Elmer Egloff, Glen Dale Kranz, Paul Ray, Jr., and William Whitney II.  The profiles are based on the research conducted by Libertyville Historical Society life member Joe Nemmers, Jr. for his book 29 Knocks on the Door: One Small Town's Costly Sacrifice in World War II.

The tour will last 45-60 minutes and requires walking distances, walking over uneven ground and long periods of standing.

A limited number of mobility-assisted tickets will be available per time slot. Mobility-assisted tickets reserve a seat on a golf cart which will drive between tour stops. Walking will still be required to access some of the gravesites. Please purchase these tickets only if you are unable to walk distances, walk over uneven ground or stand for long periods.

Payment will be collected at the event.  We accept cash, check, Apple Pay or PayPal.
- $10 for general public
- $5 for historical society members

In the event of rain, the tour will be rescheduled for September 19th at the same times.
