The Samuel Hunt Grave is located just north of Kansas Highway 31 and
about 0.5 mile west of the Havana Stage Station site. Private Samuel Hunt,
US Army Dragoons, served with Colonel Henry Dodge's Rocky Mountain expedition
in 1835, and died at this location on the return march to Fort Leavenworth.
This is the earliest known gravesite of a soldier on the Santa Fe Trail.
