Antioch Pioneer Cemetery, Overland Park, Kansas
Finding this beautiful little cemetery was one of those brakes screeching, right-turn-without-a-signal moments for me. It was a rainy day. I hadn’t planned on visiting anyplace that didn’t involve parking close and scurrying into an open door as quickly as possible.

Quaint, little church still standing on the site.
Lucky for me, the Antioch Pioneer Cemetery called to me, and I had my camera in the car.

Exquisite, marble flutist.
I’m a sucker for an elegant marble statue and these girls took my breath away.

I need to go back and take more pictures on a day when I don’t have to worry about keeping my camera dry.

Surprises like these keep me digging graves.

Visit this one sometime.

Beautiful photos! I always feel my blood pressure go down when I read your blog…
Thanks, Jim. I couldn’t ask for a better effect on readers than that! Try having your lunch in a local cemetery some time. It’s as good as an hour of yoga.
I drive past this one on a regular basis! The statues are beautiful.
I don’t remember east and west, Judy, but the statues are on the left of the little church as you drive into the cemetery. Stop in some time!
Those marble statues are stunning – what a find!
Aren’t they! Lord knows there are a million marble statues in cemeteries, but not very many of them are truly works of art.
