Historical Perceptions - Robin McKee

		Hamilton Cemetery Entrance
	Historical Perceptions Historical Perceptions is the creation of Robin McKee. Robin lives in Hamilton, Ontario, and has long been interested in his community's history. One of his particular areas of focus is Hamilton's cemeteries and the wealth of tradition and history which they represent. He regularly conducts public tours at the Hamilton Cemetery, 777 York Boulevard (across from Dundurn Castle). Each tour has a specific focus but Robin is always willing to answer questions and to share stories from his vast knowledge of the Hamilton Cemetery and the people who are buried there. The following tours are scheduled for the first portion of the 2012 tour season: May 5 & 6 (Doors Open)(Hamilton 1st) May 19 (Hamiltonians Tour) May 26 (Civil War Tour) June 2 (Power of the City Tour) June 16 (War of 1812 Tour) June 30 (Disasters Tour) July 7 (Past Mayors Tour) July 14 (Masonic Tour) July 28 (Civil War Tour) Robin McKee's "Stories in the Stones" cemetery tours commence from the entrance to the Hamilton Cemetery at 11 am and take place rain or shine. Be sure to bring the necessary food, drink and clothing needs. No reservations are required. There is no charge for the tours. For a complete listing of Robin's 2012 Tour schedule simply click on Cemetery Tours - 2012. Robin expresses his interest in cemeteries very effectively in a brief video clip which was prepared for broadcast by CPAC, Canada's Cable Public Affairs Channel. To view this short video select View Video and then select the "Victorian Graveyard" option after you follow this link. Robin has an interest in the many historic plaques that have been erected in the Hamilton community.
