Heritage Gallery Exhibit
Silent Stories from Arlington Heights' Past

Visit any of our local cemeteries and you can see the story of our village and its residents. Many of the oldest grave markers are too worn to identify, but those with clear names—Dunton, Kennicott, Miner, Sigwalt—read like a street directory or history book. These stories, and those of others long ago laid to rest in some of our local cemeteries, are told in “Silent Stories from Arlington Heights’ Past.” Through biographical sketches, photographs, and personal artifacts, the lives of many of the village’s early residents, along with the art and symbolism often found on their markers, are explored.

Sponsor: Glueckert Funeral Home, Ltd.
