The spirits will again emerge from the crypts and tombs of historic Ste. Genevieve’s Memorial
Cemetery as the Foundation for Restoration of Ste. Genevieve hosts its annual Déjà vu Spirit
Reunion on Saturday, October 10, 2009, 6 - 8 pm.
Visitors will experience Missouri’s oldest town through the spirits of those buried in the town’s
Memorial Cemetery. The cemetery, established in 1787, includes the tombs and grave markers of
this area’s earliest French pioneers. Emigrants of German, Scottish and other heritages as well
as slave, free and integrated spouses of black African and Native Americans are also entombed
there.
This exclusive program of stories, traditions and nostalgia highlights the lives, personalities,
culture, and history of notables and some ‘not-so-notables’ buried in the cemetery. Visitors will
tour the cemetery via lantern light, chat “face-to-face" with spirits clad in traditional dress and
enjoy the accompaniment of bagpipes playing soulful songs.
The Foundation’s Spirit Reunion was the recipient of the 2007 Missouri Governor’s Humanities
Award in Community Heritage.
