Grave of Meredith "Music Man" Willson

Grave site of Meredith Willson, who composed the music to community theater favorite "The Music Man." Beautiful, well-maintained gravesite, with a bench for sitting and a plaque for reading. Kind of hard to find. Just go straight toward the back and look for the Greenwood section. It is on the side.
