"lovely historic cemetery that gets unusually high levels of foot traffic" (L.A. History Girl)

Look for bronze markers in the sidewalk around the perimeter

Read the plaques on graves for settler life stories

Graves under the sidewalk give this 1849 cemetery an eerie twist: brass markers in the pavement show where 18 bodies still lie beneath San Diego Avenue. It's a pocket of California history with Spanish-style crosses and stories of outlaws like Yankee Jim, who was hanged nearby before finding his rest here.
