This Saturday was a perfect day for a walk at Sioux City's oldest cemetery. 🪦 Thank you to the over 200 people who walked the grounds with us during our two sessions of Sioux City True Crime: Stories Beneath the Stone at Floyd cemetery. We loved diving into the fascinating (and sometimes chilling) chapters of our local history alongside such a curious crowd. Thank you for braving the historic paths and helping us keep these forgotten stories alive.

We hope you will join us for our next True Crime talk at the Library - Sensational Stories: Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem on Tuesday, October 20, 6pm at the Aalfs Downtowntown Library. More info here: https://www.facebook.com/share/1J6B3VVNDH/

Who Would Win?: T-Rex vs. Velociraptor
Review by Kiya and a Kid Reader

All of 'The Who Would Win' series books are THE BEST! Such interesting match-ups, facts, and the battles always seem to have a twist that both inform and entertain! LOVE Jerry Pallottas books and wish he would write one hundred more!

Happening TOMORROW at Floyd Cemetery! There will be TWO chances to go on this Cemetery Walk.

Beneath the quiet stones of Floyd Cemetery lie stories of lives cut short, secrets buried deep, and crimes that shook Sioux City. Join Sarah, Local History Librarian Specialist, for a one-hour walking tour through the cemetery, where you’ll visit the gravesites of crime victims and hear the true stories behind the investigations and headlines. Each stop reveals a life lost—and a chapter of Sioux City’s past.

Be sure to dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. The tour will begin at the main entrance of Floyd Cemetery.

There will be TWO chances to attend this walk: 10 am and 4 pm. Both walks will be the same presentation.

What: Stories Beneath the Stone: Cemetery Walk at Floyd Cemetery
