Valles Mines, Missouri, U S A
Founded in 1749 by Francois Valle.
The Valle Mining Company's 3500 acre property every year absorbs
21,000
tons of carbon dioxide and puts out 14,000 tons of oxygen.
This is enough to meet the needs of 63,000 people. [USDA Forest Facts]

CEMETERIES OF THE VILLAGES
Pictured: The way to the final resting place of many fine Valles Mines citizens was
through the old railroad tunnel. Tunnel Station Cemetery is located 600 feet south of the
tunnel on your right, west of the railroad right of way (see map below). Although preliminary
excavation to reach this area has begun, please take care as some rough ground remains.
Plans are under way to reopen both cemeteries for new burials. [Photo by Jane Turner]
