Lakewood Cemetery is a once-beautiful place that has experienced decline over the years but is now improving under new management since April. The grounds are being mowed regularly, trash is being picked up, and efforts are underway to restore its peaceful and attractive environment. It is a popular location, often visited for walks, reading the names on headstones, and even picnics.
