Cemeteries
Bowesmont Townsite
The Bowesmont Townsite lies eight miles north of Drayton, ND, along the BNSF Railroad line. The Red River Flood of 1997 devastated the town, leaving only the church standing. West of the townsite is the cemetery.
Bowesmont Cemetery

Drayton Cemetery and St. Edward’s Cemetery
The Drayton City and St. Edward’s Catholic cemeteries are located at ND Highway 66 and Interstate 29. This well-kept area is a beautiful place to visit, and holds much information about the history of Drayton and its families.
