Discover Decoration Day

Discover the history behind Decoration Day by joining the West Des Moines Historical Society and Parks and Recreation Department at the Historic Jordan House and Jordan Cemetery. Bring a blanket or lawn chair, grab a free ice cream treat, and sit back to enjoy the Civil War era tunes played by the West Des Moines Community Band. While there grab an educational brochure, complete with a map, that will guide you to the gravesites of notable WDM citizens in Jordan Cemetery. This event will be a great way to teach children and adults alike the true purpose of Memorial Day!
