Learn The History of Centralia through tours of Elmwood Cemetery with Real Actors.

Elmwood Speaks is an annual living history event presented by the Centralia Cultural Society. The event brings together local volunteer actors who portray real people interred at Elmwood Cemetery, giving voice to the men and women who built, shaped, and enriched the Centralia community throughout history.

The evening begins with a short presentation at the Centralia Cultural Society, located at 1250 E. Rexford. From there, guests are transported to the grounds of Elmwood Cemetery, where they board golf carts and travel from stop to stop, encountering eight actors — each embodying one of Elmwood's most prominent residents. In their own words, these figures from Centralia's past share the stories of their lives: their triumphs and hardships, their contributions and their legacies.
