Re: Ghost Walk at Oakwood Cemetery, Berlin
What an adventure the "Voices of the Late Unpleasantness" Soldiers, Bella’s and Sirs of the Civil War era re-enacting how they touched many lives during the war between the states. A virtual story they did a well job shedding some light a piece of American History. The patrons like myself saw several key figures reminiscing about their lives during the times of bloodshed. All were heroes to this Green Lake Community. May they RIP, their legacy will forever be remembered.
