Richard Simpson is a promotor of local history. He says "History is all around us and it's up to people like me to promote it."

Simpson sponsors lectures, events, and walking tours. His motto is "Come in, sit down and learn about local history."

Simpson has made Moravian Cemetery famous for its walking tours.  Visit us at: www.moraviancemeterytours.com

"More and more people are becoming interested in local history."  Simpson says, "there's no better place to learn about history than taking a stroll through a cemetery where you see the names of those who made history.   There are those who are written about in history books, and there are those that history has overlooked. Simpson says  "it's up to him to keep their memory alive by telling their real-life stories."  His tours feature biographical information combined with historical facts.
