This place is beautiful and, most of the time delightfully empty of people.  I don't think this is the hip place to go for most people, but if you are a history nerd like me you will love it. Great place to take a walk by yourself.... very interesting and old headstones and an interesting layout of plots. I can walk around there for hours and look at all the names as just ponder about each  one of the lives buried beneath. It is fascinating.

But, honestly, you don't have to be into history or gravestones or whatever to enjoy it-- it truly is peaceful, quiet, beautiful, and anyone can appreciate that. Best time to go is during the weekdays of you can-you'll have the place to yourself.

Next time you're on Broadway and have some time, take a look. It really is worth it.

Beautiful and very well maintained. It's very clean and the landscaping is kept in great condition. We enjoy walking around during different seasons just for the garden views.

Mr. Kevin Clem was a great tour guide and was able to show us through his helmet the amazing ghosts this cemetery had to offer. We were unable to access the mausoleums due to the supernatural locks on them. Still a must visit especially at 3am!!👻👻

Often overlooked by locals and tourists alike, this is one of Sacramento's hidden gems.

Beautifully and uniquely landscaped. The history and mystery in this awesomely preserved and well loved cemetery have great allure. The first grave I looked at was a Welch, ... eerie.. hmmm? It raised curiosity in me.
