I used to live in the Red Top Cemetery House... I can answer questions about the history of the house and the cemetery...
I just bought the Red Top Cemetery House. Any history you can tell me I would be interested in. It had been forclosed on and winterized April 08, but they let the heating system freeze and break. The basement was flooded. We are currently gutting it. They we will move upstairs to see what has to be removed in it because of mold. But it is a great house. I am very excited. Thanks for the info.
