KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Grave Issues Squad and the Historic Preservation Commission are seeking volunteers to help clean headstones in Mountain Home Cemetery on Sunday, August 28 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Organizers say the work is part of a Historic Preservation Commission project to preserve the history in Kalamazoo’s cemeteries.
Mountain Home Cemetery, located at 1402 West Main Street, is said to contain the graves of many of the best-known figures from Kalamazoo’s history – from Gilmores and Upjohns to Curtenius and Allen.
Mountain Home was founded in 1849 and has been managed by the City of Kalamazoo since 1940.
