S2E38 - The Soul of the City: Elmwood Cemetery

:earn more about Memphis' historic Elmwood Cemetery.

To kick off spooky season, we're chatting with Kim Bearden, the Executive Director of Elmwood Cemetery. This Level III Arboretum, official historic site, and final resting place for more than 80,000 souls is unique and an integral part of Memphis' story.

"To best understand our city, you first have to understand Yellow Fever. The best way to understand that is a tour of Elmwood." Learn Kim's favorite residents, the best time of year to see the grounds, and hear one of her "thin place" encounters.

Go ahead and take a listen; it won't kill ya (see what we did there?).
