Assumption Grotto has always had a special place in my heart as it’s where some of my closest family is laid to rest, as well as in a neighborhood some of my east side family lived in.

The [Assumption Grotto](http://www.assumptiongrotto.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com) houses the shrine of Our Lady of the Lourdes. The parish was founded in 1832 and is the second oldest in the city.

So when I stumbled upon this video by the Detroit Mass Mob featuring Joe Fisher, the volunteer groundskeeper, it’s a must-share.

I won’t add much in writing here as the video is the star, but it’s chock-full of stories of history, has maps, and all the things you’d want out of a history video. You’ll also see the graves of many people whose names you can find today on our streets.

*Assumption Grotto is located at 13770 Gratiot Avenue in Detroit, Michigan.*
