| This year will be our second Cemetery Walk. Last year's walk completely sold out. We even scrambled to get another bus running to offer more space for the tour. We encourage you to take advantage of this unique experience. History is brought to life through re-enactors who talk to you about the past of the person they are portraying at the cemetery. It truly brings history to life. The Crocker House Museum is dressed for an 1880s wake with mourning artifacts on display. Director Kim Parr has been teaching the history of mourning and funeral culture for over 12 years with Mourning Matters (www.mourningmatters.com). She will be dressed in 1880's mourning attire and will discuss Victorian mourning and funeral culture. Clinton Grove Cemetery was established in 1855. Some headstones pre-date 1855. While the cemetery was being established some burials were moved from the Mt. Clemens Village Cemetery and from family cemeteries. Clinton Grove cemetery holds so much fascinating local history! |
