The Owensboro Museum of Science and History, in collaboration with the Daviess County Library and Theatre Workshop of Owensboro, is pleased to announce this year’s performance dates and historic people that will be portrayed.
Performances will be held at Rosehill-Elmwood Cenemtary, 1300 Old Hartford Road. Wagon ride tours leave every thirty minutes from 6:00 – 9:30pm. There will be a special tent show Oct 1-3 at 6pm, followed by wagon rides beginning at 6:30.
Patrons are encouraged to call and make reservations for dates and times, as wagon rides tend to sell out.

The historic stories told will feature: Edward Claybrook, Phillip Dahl and George Groezinger, Joseph Hamilton Daveiss, Harry Green, Judith Jackson, James Jones, Mount St. Joseph Founding Nuns, Mush Morton, Mary Oberst, and Allen Reid.
Voices of Elmwood 2015 is directed by Todd Reynolds and over seventy-five community volunteers assist in the annual production. All tickets are non-refundable. In case of lightning storms or heavy rain, performances will be cancelled. Any patrons holding tickets to a cancelled event may select to see the performances at one of the tent shows offered on October 1st, 2nd or 3rd.
