HISTORICAL SOCIETY
This cemetery was left by the state when they built the I-69 interchange. It's a rather unexpected sight, tucked into the cloverleaf. It's accessible from Coldwater Southbound or from Ludwig Road.
The cemetery contains approximately 81 intact headstones, and several other headstones, or pieces of stones, nested up against the intact stones.
