Special Events
Living History in your Own Backyard
2019 saw the inaugural Save the Graves Living History Cemetery Tour from Buried HIstory. On October 26 local actors portrayed nine historical figures from the early days of El Dorado County.
The event took place at Placerville Union Cemetery and was made possible, not only by the generosity of donors and supporters but by the tireless efforts of many volunteers.
