Cemeteries aren't often on my top places to spend my time but Glenwood had been on my list of places to visit in Flint and Genesee County for quite a while. For years, residents would share with me about the many Flint greats that were put to rest at the historic gem as well as the beautiful nature. The opportunity finally struck when I was presented the chance to volunteer at the site during the Flint River Watershed Coalition's Cleanup Day. I was pleasantly surprised by Glenwood's serenity when I drove up the front drive for the first time this summer. The beautiful tree variety and manicured landscaping definitely made Glenwood worthy of its Arboretum designation. I spent a few hours alongside community members dedicated to preserving the integrity of this historic landmark. It's definitely a place to take an afternoon walk, meditate, identify trees, or a stroll down Flint's memory lane. I would recommend it to anyone looking for peace in the City.
