Cemetery History

This small public cemetery is located in the outskirts of El Dorado Hills, Calif. Unfortunately, there is no access to this cemetery at this time due to work on the roads, but later there probably will be easy access.

There used to be an old gold mining town there called Clarksville and there are still a few old ruins that you can see in the area. This cemetery was also known as Mormon Tavern Cemetery for a period of time.
