People are dying to get in.
The history of this cemetery is astounding. I sometimes forget that we do actually have historical sites like this in Southern California. I would highly recommend spending an hour here walking around to read the plaques erected by the historical center - what a great work they did! We learned so much about the history of this area and had a lot of laughs thinking about days gone by. This cemetery is also quiet and secluded. It’s definitely not well kept, which makes sense given the average age of most of these graves. I’d advise wearing sneakers or good walking shoes that can handle piles of leaves and such. Also, we were pretty sure that the “operating hours” aren’t actually a thing that are enforced, because there was no one there the whole time we were there, and when we left at “closing time”, the only thing they likely would have done to lock up would be closing a gate latch. So… I feel like it’s a little flexible. However, I still wouldn’t stay after dark!
