Columbia Cemetery

-A A +A
1870. 8th to 9th sts. between Pleasant and College sts.

Moss rock entry gates guard this historic cemetery, now a park. The open irrigation ditch is still in use. The Mattie Dean Garden, made up of six lots across the street from the north side of the cemetery kept as a wooded wild garden, was left to the city as open space on the owner's death in 1981. Tom Horn, the notorious bounty hunter, is buried here.
