Cemetery associated with documented cultural history.

A cemetery in Valley City, North Dakota, Memory Gardens Cemetery is filed here for what the record attaches to it. Cemetery associated with documented cultural history.

Visitor status is unverified; confirm before making the trip.

The cemetery is the gardened — the '1956' that's the founding's year, the 'memorial park' that's the design's type. The 'flat markers' is the laid — the 'grass' that's the lawn's form, the 'no upright' that's the rule's form. The 'Valley City' is the served — the 'Barnes County' that's the county's name, the '2,700' that's the memorials' count.
The 'garden' is the planned — the 'mid-century' that's the style's era, the 'park' that's the landscape's model. The 'incorporated' is the run — the 'of Valley City' that's the company's name, the 'markers' that's the business's trade. The cemetery is the kept — the 'modern' that's the cemetery's kind, the 'rows' that's the graves' form.
The file keeps the cemetery: the gardened design, the laid markers, the served county, and the kept lawn.
Memory Gardens is the archive's North Dakota file — the cemetery that flattened its stones.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Memory Gardens is the archive's North Dakota file — the mid-century answer to the graveyard.
A cemetery keeps its lawn — the file's suggestion being that the site's hold is the modern: the 'garden' that's the design's name, the 'flat' that's the marker's form, and the '1956' that's the era's date.

· [Local folklore] unexplained lights: A floating light is locally known as the Blue Boy. A cemetery in Valley City, North Dakota accumulating ghost reports is almost tautological — but this is the one the record kept.
