Living Legends: A Walk Through the Trees of Chippiannock Cemetery,
Tuesday October 5th at 1 pm.

Chippiannock Cemetery in Rock Island, Ill. is known as the final resting place of many significant historic figures of the Quad Cities region, but did you know it is also a magnificent arboretum? The cemetery is home to many wonderful and interesting tree species. Join Illinois Extension horticulture educator Emily Swihart to explore this sacred place through the lens of the trees that call it home. 

We will meet near the grave of William Morrison, noted as location 21 on the map. We will stroll through the tranquil site, respecting the graves and appreciating the trees. Our walk will last one hour but you are welcome to plan a longer visit as there is much to see at the site.
