I went with a friend. She just couldn't get her head around how young they were, especially the women. Life was harsh in this region. Thank you. By the way, you have an excellent voice.

Thanks, I enjoy the old west cemeteries ..seeing the graves of pioneer and early settlers is so interesting. Hearing more about their lives and the words of the tombstones is good

This is AWESOME! I love old west cemeteries and towns! Such beautiful iron work, scenery and sad epitaphs.

Thank you Beth. I returned there last September and took tons more video there as well as in many other locations in the area. Keep an eye out for new material.

I like the way the fence captures the elegance of this cemetery.Tony

I've been there. Great place. The cemetery was the best part for me as well. When I got there , it was kinda late and during the week at the end of winter. Most of the stuff in town was closed or about to close , so I explored the cemetery instead. It was almost dark when I left, and drove to Reno for the night. Great place. I need to go back if I ever get the chance.

We went to Cloudcroft NM years ago, we drove to Carlsbad Cavern.....we stopped at these lonely cemeteries, the stones, and the unkept graves along with prarie dust and tubble weeds where as you have filmed, was sad but educational, the small childrens graves, I found a good size clam shell with a stone child laying in it...Will never forget it!

Thanks for sharing this. I've been there many times with my family over the years. It was always one of my Mom's favorite places to walk through and just wonder about the people who rest there. My Mom's been gone for over 6 years now and when I take my family to the Silver Terrace Cemetery and walk the grounds, I can feel her walking with me and it makes me happy. Thanks again and I'm glad I found this video here on youtube. John :-)

The first Cemetery I ever visited with my Parents in 1959 at the age of 7. Thank You for taking me there again in your video. I thought I saw the tall statue of the Angel briefly in your visit, is the large Angel still there? I have watched several videos done by others and not seen the statue. I haven't been there in 15-20 years and I can't remember how far in the statue is in. I hope vandals or someone hasn't stolen it. Thanks again for your video, the best one I have watched so far.

Thank you for watching and commenting. I do seem to recall seeing a few angel statues in Silver Terrace. I think they were more in the upper part where the Masonic cemetery is. Some day I plan to return here and do a proper exploration. On this visit I was just a tourist and hadn't yet conceived of this channel. In fact the idea for it was born on the drive home. It's still one of my all time favorite locations.

And even though it's a bit of a hike there are two more cemeteries behind Silver Terrace that are worth the effort. Thank you for watching.

Virginia City must have been quite the town in its day, so interesting to see. The place where the series Bonanza and the Cartwright family , was supposedly suppose to have lived. I love your videos, so very interesting. Mary Jane's epitaph was kinda foreboding.

I was wondering about it. Was it that members of a family, one family ,are buried there? Or is it just the way they did it back then? And I like your voice, it's so calming. It's nice to hear you explain as you go. Keep up the good work Matt ! Enjoy your walks through these lovely old cemeteries, learning about the history and about all their lives .

Thank you Victoria! The Mid West trip I was talking about happened in 2017. I went to Central Illinois and explored some of the Lincoln Trail. The video I did of Oakridge Cemetery came from that as well as the one on Thomas Lincoln, and Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis. Believe it or not, I still have a few more videos to make from that trip. I hope to get to them soon. It was a great time. And there is so much to see in the Mid West, I really want to get back. I'm planning on 2 big trips in 2019, but I haven't nailed down where just yet... the East Coast is looking highly likely.

Thank you for the lovely video! My husband and I visited Virginia City Nevada in Movement 2018. I didn't get the chance to see the cemetery since in was windy and raining. We plan to return and this is the 1st place I will visit. By the way Cobb Mansion B&B is a wonderful place to stay.

I have fallen in love with the area, I was back there last September (took tons of video to make an updated video). When you go back, be prepared to do some hiking, good shoes and lots of water. Also there are two other cemeteries beyond Silver Terrace that are hardly ever visited. I've heard of Cobb Mansion B&B, I think its one street above the Opera House, maybe on my next visit I'll stay over. Take care, and thank you for watching :)

Virginia City was like a childhood vacation spot when I was a child up until I was 13 years old and I even then felt the hauntedness and the creepiness of that City especially around the Silver Queen Saloon.. and it just gave me the total creeps going into that little wedding chapel they have in there and definitely Virginia city is haunted😲😱😨

I noticed several people wrote about the condition of the cemeteries and why the city doesn't keep it up, but usually that falls on a cemetery board and I doubt there has been one for many years and what you see is the natural landscape of the high desert, I bet except for the age of the stones the cemetery looked like this 100 years ago. You don't see lawns and beautiful trees in his part of the desert

@@califdad4 Virginia City is high desert. Our water source is piped from the Sierra's, to the west of us, making it precious stuff these days. Back in the city's heyday, this cemetery was the finest in the State of Nevada. Locals would picnic amongst the tombstones and admire the abundant greenery. There is a cemetery board and they have made some improvements, but budget impedes desire. In the fall there is a walking tour featuring actors portraying ghosts from the past, delivering a variety of experiences and history.

I've been to this cemetery. about time for me to come back

I love Cemeteries LIKE THAT

Dear fellow taphophile: I was just visiting Virginia City a few days ago, visiting the cemeteries of the Eastern Sierras. You have a great video. Have you been to Bodie, California? It is accessible only in the summer months because of the snowfall in that region. It is my favorite ghost town with a fascinating cemetery and I would love to see you make a documentary on it. The place also has a famous curse. I revisited there last week; Manzanar cemetery as well. Lots of interesting little cemeteries along California 395. They would make interesting additions to your filmography. Keep up the great explorations. Your fan!

Just saw your channel for the first time today. I used to come check out the cemetery in Virginia City in high school. Legwnd says it moves by itself. I saw it in differently places in fhe cemetery nof sure if humans moved it or actual spirit activity. I wish people would keep even the old cemeteries landscaped or at least remove the weeds.

This western city is historic.Tony has spoken.

I enjoy it very much when you’re talking and explaining the graves and that what you’re saying I don’t like it just walking through and filming it.

Using my moms phone but the Red Dog owner Sue was my old principal for Hillside elementary.I love VC and i believe its haunted and all that for fun.I love that old town and I live in Dayton thats near it so I visit alot.

It looks religious and lovely.Tony

I will never forget my experience when I visited silver terrace in the summer of 2005. I came face to face with a snake. When the snake and I saw each other. We both got scared and ran opposite directions.. My brother though it was the funniest thing ever.. Then he started to kick dirt at me saying "The snake The snake"

I want to find some sort of comfort. My step-brother slept at a very hantued hotel in Virgnia City Hotel to protect his Hot Summer Night car. Next morning he did not feel well and complained that he workers kept saying it was his time to go, He went to the the parking lot and immediately died of a heart attack. Incredibly strange, any ideas?

The neglect is so sad. I know a historical cemetery. However, some city employee could be paid to maintain and contract repairs. Just an idea, one tourist town to another...

Last time I was there I found a missing relative my grandma said at least now we know what happen killed in a gun fight😔🙏❤️
