Where History Comes Alive

The Friends of Maple Grove Cemetery is on the forefront of utilizing the historical resources of the cemetery and bringing its history to life.  With foresight and imagination, the fruits of our research are used as tools to bring tours, workshops, lectures, concerts and other events to the community outside our gates.  This is the place where history comes alive! Many of our programs are made possible by you, our members. Thank you for your continued support and contributions. Please support the Friends of Maple Grove by becoming a member.
