Vivian's Dollhouse Grave

Connersville, IN

Vivian May Allison died as a young child in 1899, and her family placed a fully furnished miniature house over her grave rather than a conventional monument. Community members have maintained the unusual memorial for generations; it was temporarily removed for restoration in 2025 before being scheduled to return to City Cemetery.
