Mount Emblem Cemetery is located at the intersection of Grand Avenue and County Line Road in Elmhurst, Illinois. Despite noise from air traffic to O'Hare International and automobiles on I-294, the peaceful surroundings and carefully planned landscaping work to help visitors enjoy the tranquility of the 160-acre (0.65 km2) cemetery. Mount Emblem is perhaps best known as the home of "The Old Dutch Mill" (incorrectly publicized as being built in 1850), a typical Dutch windmill that towers above the trees and can be clearly seen from southbound I-294.

“I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning

If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””

The home of the free and the brave.”
