Huron Indian Cemetery

Very cool KC history. Well worth the visit.

I remember when I used to go by this Cemetery it always looked
nice. I went back yesterday and I could not find it. Needless to
say I have not been back to Kansas City, Kansas in over 30 yrs
so when I did find it to me it looked even better.

Important history of KCK and Kansas. Includes the graves of members of the Wyandot Nation of Kansas, a matriarchal, Iroquoian/Haudenosaunee tribe originally from Ontario, Canada, that were forcibly removed from OH in 1843 and African American soldiers who died in the Battle of Westport, a Civil War battle that occurred in metropolitan KC in October 1864. The cemetery also includes the graves of the 1st Native American Woman Attorney to argue before the US Supreme Court, Lyda Conley, and veterans from all US battles from the Vietnam War to the American Revolutionary War.

Fun fact.. this burial ground is still here today because of Lyda Conley, the first woman, and native woman at that, admitted into the kansas bar association who fought to protect the land

Small but interesting, real and original. Genuine Kansas City artifacts free to anyone interested enough to visit.

Would like to see someone take better care of the land. Beautiful land in the city though.

Had to stop by and check it out. The place looks nice and charming

Was a little difficult to get to from the parking in the back. It was interesting to see al of the older tombstones and those that were markers for those who were unknown. Very relaxing and shady for those visiting on a warm sunny day. Glad I went up and had a look I had overlooked it for far to long. I would suggest a visit if you are in the area.

Not well preserved.
