Exploring Chicago's Oak Woods Cemetery

Located on Chicago's southside is a cemetery that is as old as the city it sits in. A huge, beautiful cemetery with over 65,000 graves. Graves of many of the people who made Chicago what it is today. They even have remnants from the 1871 Chicago fire! We will see this along with some stunning mausoleums and the Civil War Confederate Soldier memorial. Yes, there's a confederate memorial in Chicago. I will explain why. So come join me as we explore Oak Woods Cemetery.
