BENTON HARBOR, Mich. — Did you know a well-known Chicago artist, a Civil War general and one of the first women to graduate from the University of Michigan Law School are all buried at Benton Harbor’s Crystal Springs Cemetery?

On Saturday, Sept. 26, from 1 to 4 p.m., Morton House Museum and the Heritage Museum are collaborating to offer a tour of Crystal Springs Cemetery, located at 1655 E. Napier Avenue in Benton Harbor, Michigan. Attendees will discover several “residents” of the cemetery. Included on the tour are local legends like Charles Skalay, who was shot by one of Al Capone’s henchmen, and Jean Klock, the namesake of Benton Harbor’s lakefront park. Prominent businessmen, the cemetery’s Tower of Remembrance and several unmarked graves of House of David residents will also be highlighted.

The tour is self-guided and visitors will drive to each location in the cemetery. Each visitor will be provided with a map and guides will be located throughout the grounds.
