John S. McMillin Memorial Mausoleum

John S. McMillin Memorial Mausoleum (also known as Afterglow Vista) is an imposing, rotunda–style family crypt in an atmospheric, wooded setting. It is actually an open air rotunda with a huge limestone table in the middle. Around the table are thick stone chairs not only representing the members of the McMillin family, but actually containing their ashes and acting as headstones. This was meant to represent the family dinner table that the McMillins would gather around. The table is circled by a six Roman columns and a single broken column which is said to represent the unfinished nature of man’s life. Park by the airfield where you see the sign for the memorial.
