Absolutely stunning mausoleum way back in the woods. Set your GPS to go to the Mausoleum parking instead, and you’ll have a half mile walk through the woods past an old cemetery

Definitely worth a visit. Beautiful surreal setting that is especially nice if you time it when no one else is there. Finding the entrance can be tricky as GPS seems to want to route you beyond the entrance further down Afterglow Dr. This experience seemed to be common as we saw several vehicles drive by and turn around. Parking is actually on the right next to the airport just beyond the Sculpture park at the intersection of Afterglow and Cessna. If you're looking at your GPS it can be easy to miss. The start of the trailhead is just across the road. I've included some pictures to, hopefully, make the journey less confusing for the next traveller.

This place is creepy! My wife and I parked at the base of the park and walked through the woods to get to the memorial. There are a bunch of old, collapsing graves in the woods, and you can see them because they are all surrounded in small metal gates. The memorial itself is really cool, and I suggest listening to the podcast "Lore", which covers this place and its history in the fifth episode or so.

An unusual monument to a local family. It is steeped in religious and Masonic meaning, a bit of pre visit research will make it a better experience. Be wary of the signs directing you. If you take the road that is just past the small cemetery, you will come to an unmarked fork in the road. Take the road on the left (I didn't). It wasn't very busy despite being high tourist season so you can get good pictures. It is worth the five or ten minutes of walking to get there.

Questions & Answers

Is this public or private land? And what is the physical address of the parking?

The land is owned by Roche Harbor Resort. It is private land, but the company opens it up to the public as if it's a public park.

Where do we park and how do we get up to it?

There is a small parking lot (grass and gravel) across from some homes and next to a large open field. You will need to walk a trail up the left of the parking area through the woods (small old cemetery through the trail). I would say about a 10 minute walk to the structure.

Is the mausoleum really haunted?
