A doctor, a preacher, several mayors and two postmasters are buried in the Kennesaw Cemetery. And Andrew Bramlett knows about them all — along with many more.

The 11-year-old “lifelong resident of Kennesaw” will be giving a tour of the cemetery on Oct. 21, according to the Cobb Landmarks and Historical Society.

So why should you spend $20 for a tour from a kid who has been walking about a decade?
