Wednesday, August 6, 2025

6:00–7:30 p.m.

Maybe you have never explored this cozy space in the south side of Grand Rapids or even noticed it when you cruise east or west on 28^th Street amidst the steady traffic. This quaint cemetery—hidden from thousands of cars—was once located in the middle of nowhere, in a completely rural setting. Even today, its snug little setting paints a picture of what the area must have looked like back then—with its magnificent stand of mature oak trees—when it was called Paris Township Cemetery. Find out who is buried here.
This tour meets in Oakgrove Cemetery, which is reached via the MacKay-Jaycees City Park at 2531 Kalamazoo Ave. S.E.
