- ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Summer is here and that means it's time for the annual solstice tour of the Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery.

Officials say the free guided historical tour will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday.

This year's tour at the city-owned cemetery will feature graveside presentations of pioneers who helped build the city's foundation.
