At the Déjà vu Spirit Reunion, tour Memorial Cemetery and chat “face to face” with friendly spirits clad in traditional dress to hear their stories of early life in Ste. Genevieve.

Guests may hear the story of a US Senator and his wife who have been buried three different times, find out about the struggles of Ferdinand Rozier setting up a business in Ste. Genevieve, or be impressed by John Scott, an early Missouri representative.

A variety of spirits portraying the well-to-do, or the not so well-to-do, residents of Ste. Genevieve’s history before 1880 will share their stories in the graveyard.
