I used this memorial to teach my son about Memorial Day and what it is. I’ve driven by it many times but never took the time to stop and check it out until now. For a small town memorial, this is quite impressive. It’s very large and is almost something you’d expect to see in a much bigger city, so it was pretty cool, and a great choice for giving my son a lesson. The walkway to the inside had a guest book which I thought was kinda neat also.

A huge dog wandered over from an adjacent home and adored our petting and was clearly very accustomed to being around children. There is a graveyard adjacent to here. It was nice to walk around with the kids while grandma found relatives names...
