Glendale Cemetery

1 active listing · $6,000 · Sections: Block 37

At the turn of the century, Des Moines was expanding rapidly and sought additional cemetery space. In 1886, the city acquired 190 acres of farmland "out west of town" for $200 per acre. The land, intended for a cemetery, was initially unsuitable due to its rugged terrain, large boulders, and sparse oak trees. Funerals required a day’s journey by horse and carriage over rough land. Despite these challenges, the land was eventually developed into a usable cemetery site.
