My Experiences at Spring Grove Cemetery

During the Summer Term of 2009 at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, I had the pleasure of taking part in a colloquium at Spring Grove Cemetery. This class was part of the Honors Experience honors program at the college. This blog contains all of my experiences and reflections while spending nine weeks at a nationally recognized destination for the living and non-living alike.
