Movie at the Mausoleum

On September 26, we held our second Movie at the Mausoleum at Forest Home Cemetery, and it was another wonderful evening for the community. This year’s film was Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, shown just outside the historic Lehmann Mausoleum. Guests gathered with blankets and chairs to enjoy a classic film in one of Forest Park’s most atmospheric settings.
​

The event was a partnership between the Forest Park Public Library, the Park District of Forest Park, and the Historical Society of Forest Park. Big thanks to Cool Truck Treats for supplying the generator and offering movie snacks and sweets for sale throughout the night.
We’re grateful to Forest Home Cemetery for hosting us and allowing this unique event to take place in such a beautiful, historic space. Special thanks also go to Crystal and Kilian, whose luminary setup made the evening feel extra magical. Their lights lined the paths and added a gentle glow that perfectly fit the setting.
Thanks as well to everyone who helped us work through our technical difficulties and keep the evening running smoothly. Movie at the Mausoleum has quickly become a community favorite, and we look forward to continuing the tradition next year.
