Cemetery in Middle of Road
A friend had shown this to me a few years back, and I finally found it again. It used to have a historical sign, but it has been removed.
[Jenea, 08/04/2008]I noticed there is info on this site about a tree in the middle of a road in some small Iowa town, but I can beat that. There is an old cemetery just west of Jordan Creek Town Center that is in the middle of a road. There are a few tombstones and a few trees. I don't think too many people know about it, but it is pretty cool!
