Living Voices of the Past

The Old Smithville Burying Ground is always interesting to explore, but it’s even more fascinating if you can catch the special Living Voices of the Past events held annually on the Saturday before Halloween. During this event, you’ll meet several historic Southport characters who have “come to life” to tell you their stories. Hear about the real history of Southport through the eyes of local icons such as Kate Stuart, Mayor Leonard T. Yaskell, Sarah Curtis, Jessie Stevens Taylor, and many others.
