This guided walking tour is the latest monthly Texarkana Twilight Tour, designed to cast Texarkana history in a different light. The tour includes living history performers in the personas of several of Texarkana’s past citizens. This month’s tour is at Hillcrest Cemetery, established in 1929.
“We are so pleased to be returning to Hillcrest,” says TMS Curator, Jamie Simmons. “Some of the most famous people from Texarkana are buried here. One of the living history performers be portraying Senator Sheppard, co-author of the prohibition amendment.”
