Phil Goodstein’s Walking Tours: Mount Nebo

Hidden in the middle of old Aurora is a traditional Jewish cemetery.  Besides the Orthodox, it includes rebels and idealists.  This tour shows where the bodies are buried.  The entrance to Mount Nebo is at 11701 East 13th Avenue.  This is the equivalent of Nome Street.  Nome Street, which does not cut south from Colfax Avenue, is two blocks east of Moline Street and four blocks west of Peoria Street.  Some benches are north of the entry which is the gathering point of the walk.  The stroll will focus on the older, western part of the cemetery.  The cost is $20 per person.
