Little Falls Cemetery Recognized Among The Nation’s Finest

Memorial Day is this Monday. It is the official kick-off to summer, but we must remember what this day is all about. Memorial Day was established to remember those who have died for our country while fighting for freedom. Be sure to take a moment sometime this long weekend to reflect on the sacrifices made by our troops to keep us in the Land of the Free. If you are looking for a place to pause and reflect, Central Minnesota is home to one of the country's most revered sites to visit.

Surrounded by rolling hills and forests

The Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery in Little Falls was recognized as the 32nd most revered site in America if you are looking to reflect on Memorial Day weekend, or just want to honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

The sites, which were determined by a survey done by Choice Mutual, a life insurance company, put the Little Falls cemetery at 32 on their list. But that wasn't the only Minnesota cemetery to make the list.
