Check out these before and after pictures of one of the cemetery's most recognizable tombs -- the Dollhouse. Thanks to the hard work of cemetery board member Kenny Kleinpeter, the Dollhouse now shines. The work involved cleaning up and pressure-washing the tomb and the grave marker next to it, repairing some damage, repainting the entire structure and restoring the cross to the grave beside it. We couldn't have done this without the generosity of our donors. Thank you!
