Mound Grove Cemetery Association
Mound Grove Cemetery, one of the loveliest cemeteries in West Central Minnesota, is the result of the generosity and vision of Alf Thompson. Mr. Thompson retained the services of renowned horticulture expert Jane P. McKinnon, Professor Emeritus at the University of Minnesota in the 1980’s, to design Mound Grove Cemetery. Ms. McKinnon wrote a book about the experience, entitled “A Green Hill Close By”, which is available at the Evansville Historical Foundation.
The original grounds have expanded over the years to include a Veterans Memorial, which is the site for Evansville’s annual Memorial Day Service. The Evansville American Legion Post 188 creates an Avenue of Flags along the road leading to the Cemetery. The flags surrounded by the natural beauty of the grounds are an impressive and memorable sight.
Cemetery Board members include: LeAnn Strand -President, John Hanson - Vice President, Duaine Burros - Sexton, Dean Anderson - Treasurer, Marlys Englund - Secretary, Rick Evavold, Daryl Johnson, Matt Kronberg and Brian Luetgers.
