The Core mausoleum definitely an awesome experience. I'm glad old man Core knew we'd want to see him in it. Lol.

We took this tour around Halloween but it would be fun any time. Our guide was in a full costume from centuries ago and brought both wit and history as he explained who the souls were buried underneath our feet. Norfolk is an old historic town with much to learn about the people who once inhabited it. The $5 donation goes towards preserving the grounds and headstones so your visit makes a difference in preserving history. Wear shoes comfortable for uneven ground and have fun!

Excellent tour and a beautiful cemetery. I will definitely be back for the other themed tours they offer. Donations go to the Norfolk Society for Cemetery Conservation and are used directly to care for the grounds, stones, and monuments. Wear comfortable shoes and bring some water if it's hot.
