MILTON — The Milton Cemetery Board has organized a date night to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

Seating times are 5 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Feb. 10 and Feb. 11. Tickets cost $95 per couple. The event will feature two evenings of dinner and actors representing people who made their mark in Santa Rosa County history. These include Martha Beck, Dr. Thames and Alexander Jackson, among others.

Guests can enjoy a meal in a historic dining car, strolling along in downtown Milton while listening to love stories and triumphs of a local couple in the cemetery.

The historic burial ground needs volunteers to help with plot maintenance. Previously, church and youth organizations volunteered with mowing and weeding, but vandalism has increased and more of this service is needed, according to Pam Mitchell, Milton Cemetery Board member.

“One of the things we are fundraising for is to install gates to prevent some of the vandalism,” she said.
