Where?<\/strong> Fairmount Cemetery, 430 S Quebec St, Denver<\/a> Honor the men and women who have served their country while exploring Denver\u2019s rich military history during the Fairmount Cemetery Civil War Veterans Tour. On Saturday, November 7th, from 10 to 11:30 a.m., join a Fairmount Heritage Foundation<\/a> tour guide at Ivy Chapel<\/a> for a guided exploration of the cemetery and its connections to Colorado\u2019s military heritage. Fairmount Cemetery features several notable military memorials, including a Spanish-American War memorial, a WWII Tuskegee Airmen plaque, and a veterans plaza and Garden of Honor. The Fairmount Heritage Foundation, a nonprofit established in 2001, works to preserve and promote the historical, cultural, and environmental legacies of Fairmount and Riverside cemeteries. Although dedicated Civil War programming is primarily associated with Riverside Cemetery, the organization\u2019s broader veterans-focused tours provide an opportunity to learn about the individuals and stories woven into Denver\u2019s past. The tour is free, and reservations aren\u2019t required, so guests can attend even if the event appears sold out.
