    The Story

    The residents of Citizens Cemetery

    Citizens Cemetery has been collecting Flagstaff's stories since the town's earliest days. Western gunslingers and folk heroes. Businessmen who built up downtown before they went under. The astronomer who proved the galaxies are moving. A mass grave for the travelers lost in the 1956 air collision that led to the creation of the FAA. And one true crime case that shocked Flagstaff to its core. Your guide walks you grave to grave and tells you what the headstones leave out.

    A weathered peaked grave marker stands among the pines at Citizens Cemetery, older headstones soft in the distance.

    Before You Book

    Quick answers

    Can I tour a cemetery in Flagstaff?

    Yes, by private booking. The Flagstaff Cemetery Tour spends 75 minutes and about half a mile inside Citizens Cemetery, among gunslingers, western folk heroes and the stories the headstones leave out. The ground is uneven, so wear sturdy shoes. Tours are quoted per group, starting at $300.

    How do I book the cemetery tour?

    This route runs as a private booking only, quoted per group and starting at $300. Send an inquiry through our contact page or call or text (928) 224-0518 with your date and group size, and we will confirm the details, including your exact meeting point and where to park.

    Who is buried in Citizens Cemetery?

    Flagstaff's pioneers and town builders, western gunslingers and folk heroes, the astronomer who proved the galaxies are moving, and the travelers lost in the 1956 mid-air collision over the Grand Canyon, remembered at a memorial the tour visits with care. For genealogy research or locating a specific grave, the City of Flagstaff cemetery office keeps the burial records and offers an online grave search.

    Is Citizens Cemetery open to the public?

    Yes. Citizens Cemetery is an active municipal cemetery maintained by City of Flagstaff Parks staff, and visitors are welcome. Plan a daytime visit and check the city's cemetery page for current visitor guidelines. Because burials still take place here, our tours stay on the paths and give services and visiting families plenty of room.

    Is the cemetery tour scary?

    No. This is a daytime history tour built on research and real lives, not jump scares. It suits all ages, and the tone stays respectful: these are true stories about the people who built Flagstaff, told where they rest.

    How do I book a Freaky Foot Tours walking tour?

    Book online through our secure Peek booking calendar (every tour page has a Book Now button), or call or text us at (928) 224-0518. Booking a few days ahead is recommended: tours are small groups, Friday and Saturday departures regularly sell out, and October is our busiest month of the year.

    What is the cancellation policy?

    Full refund when you cancel 24 or more hours before the tour; no refund under 24 hours. Tours run rain, snow or starlight; if we ever cancel a departure, you get a full refund or a free rebooking, your choice.

    Are Freaky Foot Tours ghost tours kid-friendly?

    Our regular ghost and history tours are all-ages: the stories are true history told honestly, not jump scares, and kids 8 to 12 usually love them. We recommend 13+ for the darkest material on the ghost tours. Two experiences are adults-only: Mountain Town of Madness in Flagstaff is 18+, and the private Spirits With The Spirits pub crawl is 21+.
