An Inspiring Place
Created in 1858, the Evergreen Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in California. Located next to Harvey West park in Santa Cruz, Evergreen is the final resting place for Gold prospectors, artists, Chinese immigrants, mountain men, Yankees, Civil War veterans, lawyers, Masons, infants, travelers, and more.
A museum of the people who made Santa Cruz what it is today Evergreen is managed and maintained by the MAH and a dedicated group of volunteers. Set inside a forested hillside Evergreen is free to visit Sunrise to Sundown, 7 days a week.
