North San Juan Catholic Cemetery, North San Juan, Nevada County, CA

Submitted by Rebecca Garrlentini Dec 2005

Driving directions: Driving on Hwy 49 towards Downieville & Sierra City, California, l
eaving the town of North San Juan, on the right hand side, sitting upon a hill with 
a small paved road is where the cemetery is. You would have to park your car at 
the bottom of the small paved road off of Hwy 49 and walk up the small hill to the 
cemetery gate. It’s has locked gates and is completely enclosed with a fence. One 
would have to contact the below Cemetery Office listed below to make arrangements 
to be let into the cemetery for a visit. This is a Historic cemetery, small in size about 
1 acre of land I would say and in good condition. It has uneven ground but does have 
a partially paved road, which leads into the front and middle sections of the cemetery
 from the Entrance gate. It has lots of trees and has well care for tombstones. I took 
photos on Sat. Nov. 12, 2005. Below is the contact information for the Nevada County 
Cemetery District Office & Maintenance Shop. I was told this is the contact for this 
cemetery by a passer by walking his dog on Hwy 49 as we were leaving. I was not 
able to see any tombstones, which indicated current burials. I have taken photos 
scanning from left to right and in the middle section of the cemetery for you while 
bending over the fence and gate, which was locked. I have titled the photos NSJCC to 
shorten it up a bit on photo icons. Hope this is helpful and thank you so allowing me to 
be of service.
