This cemetery is very well kept. Has a lot of interesting monuments plus there are tons of haunting stories about this place floating around since I moved to the area 20+ years ago... namely the statue that will watch you when you walk/drive around it, or the infamous orb/girl that likes to wander around after dark. If you decide to checkout the hauntings remember to always be respectful of the dead and this beautiful place.

The cemetery is ancient, with a ton of history, which is awesome. But the grounds crew aren't the best. The graves are VERY shallow. And poorly dug. The plot markers and monuments aren't maintained either. Unless you go do it yourself.

Drive down 20th Street and keep an eye on the streets on the opposite side of the road away from the cemetery. When you come to Jefferson Avenue turn into the entrance into Ogden City Cemetery directly across from it. This will bring you onto South Street. Don't go straight. Turn left and follow that road all the way down to the end where it will intersect with a street called 1st Avenue. Be mindful. These are all inter cemetery streets. When you get out of the car... which you will want to do. There will be a family plot there marked prominently by a monument that says "Farr" at the base of it. Now we found one of the best kept secrets in Ogden. A dark little history lesson is at hand. Lorin Farr was the first mayor of Ogden. He was a Mormon Pioneer that arrived in Utah in 1849 with the original body of Latter Day Saints from Nauvoo, Illinois. Lorin Farr was close with Brigham Young and Joseph Smith. Like many of these men he was a polygamist and boasted 6 wives all whom are buried with him. The dark part of this is not that he was a polygamist or that he was a Mormon Pioneer, that is no longer a secret, but that he is revered in modern day Ogden as a pious and upstanding man while his wives often are swept away with the dust of history gone by. In Ogden City Park there is a relief of Lorin Farr boasting his many accomplishments without so much as a fine print asterisk that he was even married. Today there is a pool for youth named after him, a skate park named after him, a park named after him among other homage to the first Mayor of Ogden. The women that dedicated their lives to him, though, aren't worthy of being noted even though they are worthy of being buried with him and labeled on their headstones as one of his wives. I stumbled onto this bit of history by myself one day while being drawn to the gorgeous well kept graveyard while exploring my new neighborhood with my husband. Ogden City Cemetery is Beautiful Cemetery. Older with actual headstones instead of those impersonal little plaques. Like this bit of history Ogden City Cemetery holds plenty of secrets some that I have found and others that I have yet to behold. This was just one of them. Seeing is believing. I do not hold Lorin Farr as responsible for the honor of his wives being neglected. However it would be rather nice that Ogden City mention the women whom bore his name or change the town hero. It's clear here that it can't be both.

I love this cemetery. It is Big, not the biggest I have visited, but it is good sized. There are a lot of interesting monuments here. The soldier that I took a photo of, has been around for a long time. When I was kid, we use to drive around it and it's eyes would follow you. We did this at night. Those were the days.

I like the cemetery but the way the grounds are kept leaves a lot to be desired. Overgrown or dead trees and bushes, lots of dips and rough terrain in the lawn. It could be beautiful if just kept a little better.
