History

Dun Glen Cemetery is located below town but not at its original location, the Dun Glen Cemetery is the final resting place of the Nelson family, Civil War era pioneers. In 2003, a mining company applied for and received permits to mine the original location, and agreed to exhume and reinter the remains. The company fell short of its promise and left the remains above ground for two years in makeshift coffins. They were finally laid to rest in October 2005

Camped out here on my road trip. Not a bad drive, was able to go 25 - 35 mph 95% of the way there. You’ll pass by mines that say stay out.
