text: Mont Calvary Cemetery is a historic cemetery that was founded in the 1840's, long before the establishment of Dallas as a city. The site was used for burials of pioneers stretching all the way back to the 1840s. A Baptist congregation adjoined the site until 1885 when the church moved and founded what is now the First Baptist Church of Richardson. Currently over 700 graves are cared for and the cemetery has received historical recognition from the State of Texas.
