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.

The Whatnot Garage This remodeled garage now serves as the Foundation’s what not (or odds and ends) display area. Current displays include Evansville Railroad items, a large loom, stone heads of tools used by Native Americans, vintage winter sleds, skis, and more. The garage also houses the replica models of Evansville’s railroad depot and churches. These scale models are mounted on wagons and are usually part of the annual Evansville 4th of July parade. The models were built by local craftsmen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccb3b4ae5f7d128b0bcf7c4/1625937524626-ZS91SQKKKL6PTBURHKPX/Parade-Floats-1.jpg Whatnot Garage - 1912 Replica of the Great Northern Railroad in Evansville Float that includes models from a 1900s railway and town.
