Travel Info Where are some OLD, historical cemeteries in the Dallas area? Travel Tips Keep in mind that a lot of historical figures are buried in cemetaries that are still in use (Bonnie Parker of Bonnie & Clyde is at Crown Hill). Freedman's Cemetary is on Central between Lemmon & Hall is a pre-Civil War cemetary for a small community of freedmen. I think it's more about the bronze statues than being a burial site. I know that there are several historical markers at Restland, one is for confederate soliders, but I've never stopped to look at any of the markers since I have a purpose at Restland... You aren't going to find much that is a couple hundred years old in Dallas as the area wasn't settled until the mid 1800s (late 1830s? Dallas was founded in 1841.). The Spanish didn't do much settling up north and Americans didn't settle it in significant numbers until after the Civil War when the trains came. You just aren't going to find old, old in this part of Texas... Try these sites: http://www.historictexas.net/cemeteries/... http://www.northtexascemeterypreservatio... http://www.dallashistory.org/about/news.... Others America doesn't have a history so how can they have any thing historic The best way to find out would be to check the local historical society. There is a small confederate cemetery next to a convention center. I was there, I don't remember the name. But the identifiable feature is a lifesize stampede statue running around the outside of the building. Cows and horses and all that. I stayed at the Adam's Mark hotel and we walked to the convention center if that helps with location at all. historic in america is, 60 to 130 years ago? historic in any other continent is, like, 200 years ago to 10,000 years ago, or more? the only historic thing like other continents in the Americas are the natives of this great land!!! |
