Yosemite Cemetery

Yosemite Cemetery, also known as Pioneer Cemetery,[1] is a cemetery built in the 1870s and located on the west end of Yosemite Village, in Mariposa County, California.[2] In 2014, the Yosemite Conservancy worked in restoring the cemetery and graves.[3] Many of the graves are from the earliest European-descent pioneers, and a few of the graves were for Native Americans that had lived in the valley.[4]
