Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery

Collection by City of Santa Rosa Special Event Venues

The Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery is a 17-acre historic landmark located in the heart of Santa Rosa. It was a burial site for early residents primarily from the 1850s through the 1930s. Painstakingly restored from decades of neglect by a group of volunteers over the past 20 years, the wooded paths and knolls are now enjoyed by walkers and by participants in a variety of docent-led tours and events that highlight local history and the many town pioneers who are buried here.
