Oaklawn Cemetery Walking Tour


Established as the final resting place for “white and slave, rich and poor,” Oaklawn holds the stories of Tampa’s earliest days. As you walk shaded paths lined with weathered headstones, you’ll encounter the graves of 13 mayors, a Florida governor, enslaved people, pirates, Don Vicente Martinez Ybor, and more than 200 Native Americans. The cemetery also includes two mass burial sites, adding to its solemn and powerful history. This 90-minute tour begins at 10 a.m. and is limited to 25 participants. Guests will stop at notable sites throughout the cemetery while learning about the people who shaped Tampa’s past. Comfortable shoes and outdoor attire are recommended. Oaklawn remains one of our most popular tours, and space fills quickly. Reserve your spot now to experience the history, legacy, and quiet intrigue of this remarkable site. Meeting Place: Tour meets at Harrison St. & Marion St. in front of the former St. Paul AME Church located on 502 E Harrison St, Tampa, FL 33602 Reservations required. Capacity limited.
