Activites, Camps and After School Classes in Bath, ME

Step into Bath’s renowned past with the Oak Grove Cemetery Walking Tour—an immersive journey through one of Maine’s rare 19th-century garden cemeteries. Your passionate local guide will take you through the designed landscape, shaded by ornamental trees, illuminating American burial traditions among the headstones, mausoleums, and ponds, and maybe even catching a glimpse of a ghost bridge or summerhouse. Discover the meaning of the massive “broken oak” monument, the botched discovery into a policeman's murder, and the bittersweet remembrance of Nina, a schoolgirl. Delve into poignant Civil War stories and the maritime legacy behind the epigraph, “died at sea”. Participate in the ancient tradition of leaving “grave goods". Your imagination will be stirred while supporting preservation, as $5 of every ticket benefits cemetery upkeep. Comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended.
