Tom Burford Memorial Dedication
July 30, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
$10Tom Burford (1935-2020) was a champion of Old City Cemetery who dedicated a significant portion of his life to studying and educating the public on the robust topic of heirloom apples. Mr. Burford was a founding member of the Old City Cemetery’s Board of Directors and an internationally known orchardist. A leading figure in the resurgence of America’s cider industry, he played a major role in returning heritage apples to mainstream cultivation. Join Old City Cemetery volunteers and staff as we dedicate a bronze/stone memorial to honor Mr. Burford for his inestimable contributions to this eclectic realm of horticultural scholarship. This is a free event and will be held across from the Cemetery’s Bicentennial Chapel.
