Established in 1855, the Clinton Grove
Memorial Park exhibits an array
of funerary art in a wooded landscape. This combination of
nature and monuments reflects the rural cemetery movement of the
nineteenth century which popularized park-like, pastoral
planned landscape in both rural and urban settings. The grounds
include a Tudor office
and chapel building designed by Mount Clemens architect Theophilos Van Damme,
which dates from 1914. Many business and
political leaders are interred here as well as veterans of
American military conflicts from the Revolutionary War through the
Vietnam War. Six thousand burials date from the nineteenth
century. Clinton Grove Memorial Park is listed in the National
Register of Historic Places and still
remains as a picture of excellence and continues to provide the
community with wonderful service. |
