This historic cemetery is the final resting
place for many prominent Taoseños.
Notables buried here are:
Christopher "Kit* Carson a legendary scout,
Padre Antonio Martinez,
a famous educator and church leader,
and Mabel Dodge Lujan.
Others buried here are the soldiers and other
local citizens killed during the January
1847 rebellion here in Taos.
The rebellion was sparked by a fear by some
that the annexation of New Mexico as a
Territory by the United States would result
in a loss of their land rights. Governor
Charles Bent was killed during the
rebellion.
