SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT 'UNDER THE SYCAMORES':
This is a self-paced audio journey designed to take place at the historic Erie Street Cemetery, located in downtown Cleveland, OH.
You will begin at 2254 E 9th St, Cleveland, OH 44115, directly across from Progressive Field, at the West Gate of Erie Street Cemetery. You may park along the main road inside the cemetery for free.
The listening experience will last between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the path you choose. Please prepare for the weather accordingly. While primarily a walking tour, you may also want to bring a folding chair if you would like to sit, as there are no benches in the burial grounds.
