WILL BE RESCHEDULED

Spooky Stoop Session at Lehmann Mausoleum with live music from Bloody Tambourine and the Musical Mafia.

The Historical Society of Forest Park is excited to host our first-ever Stoop Session, right on “our stoop” at the Lehmann Mausoleum. Join us for a delightfully eerie evening featuring the spooky sounds of Bloody Tambourine and the Musical Mafia, perfectly suited for a summer night among the stones. "Doors" are at 6:30, music begins at 7:00, settle in and grab a Smokey Joel hot dog. Bring a chair or blanket and get comfortable.

We’re thrilled to partner with the Forest Park Arts Alliance as part of their summer music series, and grateful to the Kiwanis Club of Forest Park for sponsoring this hauntingly good time.

Parking is limited, so walking or biking is strongly encouraged. For those driving, parking is available behind the cemetery office via the Desplaines entrance, with additional parking along the left side of the fork. Parking attendants will guide you. From the lot, it’s about a 0.25 mile walk to the stoop, just enough time to enjoy the atmosphere and maybe a few chills. If you have accessibility needs, reach out ahead of time at ForestParkHistory1975@gmail.com so we can help make arrangements.

Please note, the cemetery bathroom may not be available, so plan accordingly before you arrive.

The Redmonds are a Chicago-area rock and Americana band fronted by talented husband and wife duo, Mike & Katie Redmond, who perform a signature blend of classic rock, roots-Americana, originals, and high-energy covers highlighted by soulful vocals and impeccable harmonies.

Joining them for Stoop Sessions is L.J. Slavin, award winning multi-instrumentalist, well versed in a wide variety of styles.  Some of the instruments L.J. plays include flute, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, harmonica, and musical saw.
