Oak Knoll is right in the corner of MN Hwy 95 and US Hwy 169 in East-Central Minnesota. There are 5,500+ people buried there with graves dating back to 1850. It is aptly named with its gently rolling hills and towering oak trees.
They also have a tank, I don’t know what kind, and an anchor from the USS Courtney (DE-1021), a Cold War era destroyer.
