North Texas cemeteries unfold as roadside museums, revealing diverse histories, art, and surprising legacies.
Buried Dallas-Fort Worth is your photographic companion to the fascinating world of North Texas cemeteries. More than simple graveyards, these sites are some of the region's most enriching roadside attractions, free to visit and perfect for day trips.
North Texas burial grounds reveal a cultural tapestry through headstone designs, burial traditions, and cemetery symbols. From pioneer burial cairns to Wild West gunfighters, from the nation's only murder memorial to the grave of an alleged space alien, these burial grounds brim with history, art, and unexpected surprises. Exploring them reveals stories of diverse communities--European, Hispanic, African American, and beyond--who became cowboys, oil tycoons, heroes, villains, and everyday citizens.
Organized into four sections (Dallas, Fort Worth, DFW Metroplex, and Worth the Drive), this book makes it easy to plan North Texas road trips. With vivid photography and concise history, Buried Dallas-Fort Worth reveals how cemeteries serve as unexpected roadside museums, preserving stories that connect the past to the present.
