Their Spirits Took Flight

All communities have a story to tell, and many of Nevada City’s stories can be found in Pine Grove Cemetery. Here you will find thousands of pioneers and early citizens resting in their last sleep, who represent a repository of the rich historical and cultural diversity of Nevada City and the State of California.
