Cemetery located at Boise, Idaho
Surveyed  2004 & 7/2005

(Approximately 53 tombstone markers). Since there are also 37 "Unknown" ground markers and 1 
unmarked stone, in this old cemetery, we can assume some people died while in the penitentiary or 
were people living on the grounds at the time. There are also military tombstones, some more 
elaborate than others. (The transcribed names and information are not necessarily in the format or 
order as designed on the tombstone.)
Note: Photographs can be sent per request to my email (nefret1999@yahoo.com).

Directions:
Take Highway 84 Boise, ID. to the Broadway Avenue North Exit,  turn toward city center. Stay on 
Broadway for about five miles until you will see St. Lukes Hospital on the left. Make the right 
turn on Warm Springs Avenue  Go on Warm Springs about 3 miles and there is a sign on the right side 
of the road that says, "Old Idaho State Penitentiary. Make that left hand turn. Walk in through the 
Penitentiary Entrance or Botanical Gardens. The cemetery is located behind the old barn and on the 
side of the Idaho Botanical Gardens.
