20th Century Glenwood Walking Tour

September 27 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

While Glenwood Cemetery is renowned for its magnificent Victorian monuments, it also tells the stories of more recent generations.

Join Preservation Houston for a docent-led walking tour through some of Glenwood’s newer sections as we highlight the lives and legacies of notable 20th-century Houstonians laid to rest here.

Discover the stories behind influential figures such as George and Herman Brown, pioneering businessmen; Will Clayton, cotton magnate and statesman; Edgar Odell Lovett, the first president of Rice University; Judge Roy Hofheinz, builder of the Astrodome; and beloved television anchor Ron Stone.

Advance ticket purchase is required for this tour. Register through Preservation Houston.
