Exploring Oakwood Cemetery

In the quiet town of Wilmington, Illinois, there’s a cemetery with as many souls laid to rest as there are people living. In 2004, a tragedy struck this town—one so profound it captured national attention. The grave of Riley Fox, the young girl at the heart of this heartbreaking story, rests here. Today, we’ll revisit what happened and take a stroll through this beautiful old cemetery as we explore Oakwood Cemetery together.
