This episode is part one of at least two episodes covering one of Dayton, Ohio's largest green spaces, @calvarycemeterydayton8619 Founded in 1872 to accommodate three Catholic parishes that grew out of the German, Irish, Polish, Hungarian, Italian and Lithuanian immigrants who flocked to the area in the mid 1800s, it replaced the overflowing St. Henry's cemetery, and has become a crown jewel among Midwestern cemeteries. In this first episode Jennie and Dianne delve into the cemetery's beginnings and discover many of the beautiful buildings, natural spaces and Ordinary Extraordinary monuments that make up the cemetery. In part two they will cover some of the stories of those who made Cavalry cemetery their final resting place; a cemetery that is not just a place of final rest, but a living testament to the beauty of the human experience.
