Old Quindaro Cemetery was established in 1855 and is the oldest cemetery in the state of Kansas. It overlooks the Missouri River from the Quindaro Bluffs, only accessible via a winding, wooded road and not open to the public. The town of Quindaro was established in 1854 by abolitionists and became a key stop on the Underground Railroad. The area includes two historic Quindaro Cemeteries. The larger Quindaro Cemetery is attached to Mount Hope Cemetery along Parallel Parkway. While the town of Quindaro only lasted a few years, its legacy remains in the KCK area.
