With more than 43,000 names, dates and stories, the Lake View Cemetery is one of the area’s best ways to learn about local history. Realizing the wealth of knowledge ready to be uncovered there, the Fenton History Center will help the public learn about local individuals and families who have passed with its annual Saints and Sinners Cemetery Tours coming up during the next two weekends. Visitors will watch history come to life as they embark on a walking tour of the grounds and are told stories of about a dozen people with fascinating pasts. “For some of the stops on the tour you will hear stories from the guides and some you will hear from actors who are portraying not necessarily the deceased but maybe a family member telling the story,” said Joni Blackman, director of the Fenton History Center. “There are a lot of important people from Jamestown’s past and they’ve got some great stories.” On the next two Saturdays, the tours begin at 1 p.m.
