If you enjoy history or want to learn more about Covington's history and that of the people who have lived here, 
here's something you won't want to miss.
On Thursday evening, October 15, the Tourism Division of the Covington/Newton County Chamber of commerce is sponsoring a guided walking tour of the historic Covington City Cemetery. The cemetery is located off Conyers and Church Streets just a couple of blocks off the historic square.
The tour will be conducted by people in period costumes representing several "residents" of the cemetery who will provide graveside commentary about their lives and history of Covington and the surrounding area.
For those unable to walk the route, golf carts will be provided.
The crisp fall weather, personal portrayals and rich history of Covington will make this an event not to be missed.
Tickets may be purchased at the Covington visitors center on Clark Street between now and the event. No tickets will be sold at the cemetery. Admission to the tour is $10 for adults and $5 for children. All proceeds will go to the Newton County History Center, being developed in Covington's historic jail building, and to the construction of the Newton County Miracle Field.
Come out for an enjoyable evening. Learn more about our history. And support our local charities.
