Historic Manning Avenue Cemetery

Morris County Historical Society is pleased to partner with local historians and history organizations to present a Morris County Walking Tour Series that celebrates the area’s rich and diverse past. From April through October, join us for nearly 40 guided walking tours that explore almost two dozen communities throughout Morris County, with topics ranging from unique historic districts, downtowns, and neighborhoods to local industries that shaped the landscape, and the individuals who left a lasting impact.

Looking for some spooky Halloween fun sprinkled with history? Explore a glimpse into Butler’s past as we recreate the lives-and deaths-of some of our most notorious past residents on this twilight tour of Manning Avenue Cemetery. Participants are asked to meet at the Butler Museum 15 minutes before the tour begins and sturdy shoes and flashlights are recommended.
