Ogden City Cemetery

Ogden's oldest cemetery opened in 1851, a few years after the first Mormon families reached the Weber Valley, and it has been taking in the town's dead ever since. Sixty acres hold a Pioneer Section for the earliest settlers and Military Sections that trace every American war Ogden sent men to fight. As the railroad turned Ogden into a crossroads city, the ground filled with a wider America than most Utah towns knew — Union veterans, immigrants, railroaders. The cemetery's monuments, gathered over a century, make it an open-air record of who passed through.
