Albion, located in south-central Michigan, developed as an important milling and manufacturing town in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Its cemeteries were designed with landscaped, park-like features that reflected theRural Cemetery Movement, emphasizing beauty and tranquility as spaces for both remembrance and reflection.
