Spirits in October is an event for the community which puts a human face on history by highlighting individuals resting at Riverside Cemetery. We would like to know what you, the community, think about Spirits in October, how it has impacted you, and how we can continue to provide a tangible link to Macon's history.

The Historic Riverside Cemetery Conservancy and the 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team sponsored the fourth annual Veterans Day Commemoration at Riverside Cemetery on November 11th at 11:00 am. This event was free and open to the public. A special thank you to Michael Williams Photography for documenting the event in photographs, to Jean and Hall Florists for the wreath, and to Hart's Mortuary for the sound system.
