OUR STORY
Originally named Canyon City Cemetery, the burial ground has served the nearby community since early Canyon history. In 1891, S,W, Kelley deeded property to Randall County for cemetery use. That same year, the first burials occurred for William E. McElroy and for Jerry Adams, an African American Cowboy who died during a cattle drive.
The Civic Improvement League changed the cemetery's name to Dreamland in 1909 and additional acerage was added to the property in 1932 and 1963.
Randall County maintained the property until 1957, transferring operations to concerned citizens who formed The Dreamland Cemetery Association.
Today, the association continues to care for the historic Dreamland Cemetery, which still serves the residents of Randall County and remains a testament to the early settlers of Canyon.
Our Mission Statement:
1: To maintain an attractive and properly arranged cemetery for those who have placed their love ones here for their final resting place.
2. To present our facilities to our community for their consideration in planning for their future needs.
