| Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis |
Duh me. The cab driver asked where I wanted to be let off and I suggested the main gate as we passed block after block of walled cemetery grounds. Turns out there are 555 acres, 25 miles of paved road and over 200,000 graves. Oooops.
I never did find Dillinger but I had a good walk and it is a lovely cemetery. I followed a line in the road to an Information Office only to find it closed and map containers empty so I explored trying not to get too lost and luckily my loyal and well tipped Nigerian cab driver came back to get me and then drove me to the airport the next day. It didn't even dawn on me to try to pull up a map on my phone. Sorry Dillinger. Catch ya next time!
I lived in Indianapolis for three years and don't think I ever went to Crown Hill. There are a number of famous or semi-famous people buried there.
ReplyDeleteYes, Dillinger is perhaps the most notorious but I did see President Benjamin Harrison's tomb.
ReplyDeleteI love your images. You have such a good Eye :-)
ReplyDeleteThat means a LOT from you Vanessa. I am your biggest fan :)
DeleteIf you go to the website www.crownhillhf.org you will find all kinds of information, including a map to Dillinger's grave. Sorry you didn't get any help when you were there.
ReplyDeleteTom, It is a great cemetery. I wish I'd had more time to explore.
