Welcome to the Talking Spirits Virtual Cemetery Tour

For 2021, the Wisconsin Veterans Museum is pleased to be in the serene and somber landscape of Madison's Forest Hill Cemetery to share with you the rich history of Wisconsin and its veterans. On this virtual tour we are excited to take you to places in the cemetery and show you interesting photos and objects we would not be able to if we were in person. This tour includes vignettes from both 2020 and 2021.
