Most cemeteries are quiet places where history goes to rest. Citizens Cemetery is not most cemeteries.
On this walk through Flagstaff's oldest burial ground, your Southwestern Gothic dressed guide takes you grave to grave and tells you what the headstones leave out. Stand at the mass grave of travelers from the 1956 Grand Canyon mid-air collision, the disaster that led to the creation of the FAA. Visit the resting place of Vesto Slipher, the Lowell Observatory astronomer who proved galaxies move. Meet gunslingers and western folk heroes. And hear the Walkup case, the true crime filicide that made co-founder Susan Johnson write an entire book.
Every story comes from co-founder Susan Johnson's original research. Flagstaff's original ghost tour company, woman-owned since 2015. 2,000+ verified reviews. The only guided cemetery tour in Flagstaff.
