Gold Hill Cemetery
Our cemetery was born from the birth of our community.
Our cemetery's life belongs to our community
Our community cannot let our cemetery die
Neglected, forgotten...not yet dead, this historical landscape pays
tribute to those who settled the territory we now call Nevada, and made
history in this place we now designate as an Historical District with
national historical significance in the birth of this country.
Our group has spent four years identifying, documenting and
photographing the remaining identifiable sites. In meeting the challenge
of incomplete burial records, our group is developing an interactive
database to re-create the community of Gold Hill circa. 1800-1899. The
technology of the 21st century will insure recognition for those of the
19th century, some of who now lay, unknown
Would you like to see the Gold Hill Cemetery? Tell me and I'll send a
picture, they say one picture's worth a thousand words.
Then, if you feel as the rest of us do, I invite you to join us in
mobilizing a strong, broad based support effort. Let's us know how you
feel, your relative's name and you will be added to our growing list of
descendants that support this effort to save our cemetery.
