Take a walk through history this Thursday with docent-led tours of Milk Row Cemetery (next to Market Basket on Somerville Ave.). The 211-year-old cemetery is usually kept locked because of the headstones’ fragile condition. So if you’ve ever been curious about Milk Row, now is a good time to go exploring.

Milk Row Cemetery will be open from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 17. For more information, please contact Brandon Wilson at bwilson@somervillema.gov or 617-625-6600 x2532 or Barbara Mangum at info@historicsomerville.org or 617-331-7726.
