The former entrance to the cemetery is on Route 66 has been closed. The new entrance is around the corner on M3490. I haven't found a founding date for the cemetery, but it's probably reasonable to assume it was around the time the town was founded in 1902 give or take a few years.

xThe chapel was a WPA project that was built in 1939. It has only one room which contains wooden benches and an altar. It is located in the center of the Davenport Cemetery about one mile west of town on Route 66.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
