One of Rauland Historielag's most popular events is the annual churchyard walk on Oldsokkvelden. Every year you can hear individual stories about Rauland residents who are buried in Rauland cemetery.

The Churchyard tour is a collaboration between Rauland Historielag and Rauland Parish Council and has been organized since 2026. The History League provides the content, while the Parish Council provides Oslokgraut. The churchyard walk will end with mass in Rauland church.

Here you will find an overview of who has been told about, and who has told back to 2020.
