The first recorded burialhere was in
1860, but oral history says there
were burials as early as 1850. Veterans
of wars and conflicts since the Civil War
are also buried here. In 1890 a wooden
sidewalk was built from downtown so
that the ladies’ dresses wouldn’t get
muddy when they visited the graves of
Modesto and Stanislaus County
are at rest here.
Administered and Maintained by the
Modesto Cemetery Association
Dedicated May 18, 1996
