S-WH Walking Tours
Memento Mori: One of the most beautiful burying grounds in Connecticut, Memento Mori has much to tell us about the history and customs of Farmington’s people of the past. Learn how it reflects changing ideas about religion and the world. Hear about the artwork represented on the headstones, and the restoration efforts underway to preserve this heritage treasure.
Beautiful Mile: Take a stroll down memory lane with our walking tour of Historic Farmington Village. Through its architecture, Farmington's Main Street tells the story of its 17th-century beginnings to the dawn of the industrial age. Learn about the changing landscape of this beautiful and historic street and how it reflects the activities and challenges of the people who resided here. You'll hear about merchants and other village residents and hear stories of Farmington long ago.

Join Stanley-Whitman House for our annual Ghost Walk Tours at Memento Mori Cemetery, where costumed interpreters bring documented stories from Farmington’s past to life among the gravestones of one of the town’s oldest historic sites.
During this approximately 45–50 minute walking tour, you’ll encounter people whose lives illuminate Farmington’s colonial and Revolutionary-era history—stories of family and community, faith and conflict, love and loss—drawn from the historical record and interpreted in the place where generations of Farmington residents were laid to rest.
