Another missing review?I've been stopping in here for 30 years and know I've reviewed it before. Oh well.If you like historical cemeteries....Go!Many prominent Dallisites including,Mayors, 6, financiers, developers etc are interned here. It is a beautiful place. Not taken care of quite as well as in the past but not abandoned either.My favorite grave is of a man named Slaughter. Check out the Texas historical marker photo and picture of his granite tomb.There is a multi-generational family of grey foxes living here in the shadow of downtown that's a pleasant surprise every time I stop in.
This cemetery is so cool. I walked around there on a Saturday. Couldn't find the entrance, and had to hop part of the fence. (Skinned my knee). There was an old lady walking around, so there must be an accessible entrance somewhere. Definitely check it out.
