Cemetery markers record burials as early as 1844 and include markers for a veteran of the American Revolution, War of 1812, Civil, Spanish-American, and World Wars I and II. At least two veterans of the Texas War of Independence are buried in outlying cemeteries.
A Historical Marker "Daingerfield, C.S.A." was erected on the "Old Town" square by the State Building Commission in 1965 and Morris County Historical Survey committee erected a marker at the site of Chappel Hill College. Other markers in the area are Caddo Trace, near the entrance to the State Park on Hwy. 11, Rogers Cemetery, on the old Daingerfield - Hughes Springs Hwy. North of the State Park, and Logan & Hussey General Store, on the old Mt. Pleasant Hwy. near Leslie's Farm Supply.
Much of the natural beauty of the area is preserved in the natural woodlands of the Daingerfield State Park built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930's and on the shores of the Lake 'O The Pines, South of Daingerfield.
This history prepared for the Daingerfield Chamber of Commerce, courtesy of the Morris County Historical Survey Committee.
