Give in Memory. Give with Meaning.
Give for Tomorrow.
Each year, the Nesbitt Memorial Library Foundation hosts the Live Oaks and Dead Folks cemetery tour in Columbus, Texas—a unique journey through local history brought to life. With the help of our extensive library archives, we share the stories of Colorado County’s most fascinating residents, portrayed by local volunteers in period costume. It’s history, heritage, and community—told under the stars.
