Battle Creek

This morning we made more progress on waxing the trailer--worked on the curb side this time. One or two more sessions, and we should be done for now.

In the afternoon we visited Battle Creek's Leila Arboretum. The arboretum was more open space than we expected. Quite a variety of trees, but widely spaced. This would be a great place to walk, cycle or picnic. One intriguing area is the Peace Labyrinth, which we walked.



We also stopped by Oak Hill Cemetery, where Sojourner Truth is buried. The people of Battle Creek are very proud that she chose to life here. There's a lot of history recorded in this cemetery. The first burial here was in 1844.




The founders of both the Post and Kellogg cereal businesses are also buried here. W.C. Post has a large mausoleum. Kellogg is buried more conventionally, surrounded by family.
