OWENSBORO – The fithteenth-annual Voices of Elmwood™ will be held at Rosehill- Elmwood Cemetery beginning the evening of September 15, 2022 and will run for a total of nine evenings in September and October.
Voices of Elmwood™ is a celebration of history, designed to honor our region’s heritage. The lead sponsor is Dahl and Groezinger, Inc.
Founded by the Owensboro Museum of Science and History, and in collaboration with the Daviess County Public Library, Voices of Elmwood™ 2022 will offer ten new stories of people from our community’s past. Carolyn Greer will be directing the series, with local actors in period costumes presenting the story of the person they are portraying. Trailer rides will leave every thirty minutes and stop for each actor’s presentation.
Performances begin at 6:00 p.m. each evening, with the last wagon leaving at 9:00 p.m. each night. Tent shows, perfect for large church groups, supper clubs, tour buses or patrons preferring not to ride in the wagons, will be offered on September 29th and 30th and October 1st, and will begin at 6:00 p.m.
