Virginia City's Historic Silver Terrace Cemetery

Julia Bulette nursed many miners back to health after they drank contaminated water. She was made a n honorary member of the Fire Dept and was Queen of the Independence Day parade in 1861. She was described as having been a beautiful, tall, and slim brunette with dark eyes, she was refined in manner with a humorous, witty personality. " A Soiled Dove"

I've been to that cemetery several times, when one of my brothers would take me to Virginia City while visiting them in Tahoe. But, I never had the luxury of spending more than about 45 minutes there, because my family never had the interest to allow me to linger as long as I'd have liked. I could have spent 6 hours up there.

My wife and I wandered this cemetery several times. She was fascinated with the headstones. May she Rest in Peace for eternity. 😪

Did anybody notice the strange whispering at 8:35 after Jeff talks about the death by complications of childbirth? Just wondering...

I was there in 1998 and it looks like it’s still the same. This is the one of coolest old western towns I have ever been to.

I was there as a kid, many years ago. Probably went mostly around where the entrance is. Even then, I remember the young ages. Had no idea the area was so big. Thank you for the tour.

FYI. Every symbol on a headstone has a meaning... From blankets to birds to hands ... There's a story in every cemetery

Money on the graves. With the military, we put a penny if we visited. A nickel if went to Basic Training with them. A dime if you went to war with them and quarter if you there with them when they died.

My family and I visited Virginia City because of your video's .... we love it and have been several times now!

Beautiful graveyard, great Video, loved it, especially the hard working Irish, graves, 🌹🧚🏿‍♀️🧚🧚🏿‍♀️🧚🧚🍀🍀🍀

Amazing that the old wood markers are in as good a shape,and the intricate work on the others I agree with you on the vandalism may they rott great video love the history

Love VA City, great job Jeff & Sarah.

Another thing I remember. So this Cemetery is kinda out on like a peninsula. Going back out if you turn toothed Left just a short ways is the Hotel where we stayed. It to the left on the road & then on the Left kinda down in a little gully. There are some neat houses & then at the other end of town was the Comstock mine I believe. Well it was a big mine I remember. You help bring back memories of many of the places we went. I only wished I had documented..either by filming or at least a journal. Because places start running into each other & you remember Details but Not from which Town it was from. Thank you for caring my memory.

Great video Jeff 🤗🤗

Smashing the like button... Enjoy watching. Thank you.. Thank you very much.. TCB⚡

My wifes uncle was Lucky Baldwin who made one of his fortunes from the Comstock. Virginia City was our dream location for our old west museum but we never could quite land the building we wanted. I have one of the double barreled shotguns used to gaurd the VTRR (Virginia Truckee Railroad) carrying the silver ore.

Hey Jeff, Fort Worth, Texas has some interesting old historical cemetaries! You should check them out sometime!

Thanks for being a gentleman. Reno resident.
