Centennial Cemetery



So the very first cemetery my boy and I went to was the cemetery in New Haven, MI.  We went there because it would be quiet and we could play a game of chess in peace.

You can see him pictured here with our travel chess set in front of him.

There were some very nice headstones and there was woods around us.  One of the things that was kind of fun was that a tree top fell as we were right there.  I can't say anything about if we had not been there but it did make a noise to my son's delight.

But the most interesting part of our visit was the mausoleum.  It is made with rocks and has three gated doors.  The doors are pushed and open to see in but the gates are chained keeping the public out.  It would be very kind of spooky at twilight but during the day it was just fine.

The mausoleum is built into the side of a hill with steps up the side allowing the public to access the top of the building.  My boy climb the steps and stood on the top for the picture below.

This was a very fun cemetery and we decided that we should visit a different cemetery every month for our guy time.  We came up with two goals: The first was to visit every cemetery in Macomb county (our county) and the second was to decide what makes each cemetery interesting.

With that our quest was on and now we are off to visit all the necropolises in Macomb.
