The Old Uppertown Cemetery is located on the north side of Freeway 50 off Mosquito Road. As you head north under the freeway, park in the area to your left, and carefully walk across Mosquito Road. There is a flight of stairs to the top where the cemetery is located.

Placerville, aka Hangtown, was a major stop for gold seekers heading to the mines or to Sacramento from back east. Back then, Upper Placerville was a separate town from Placerville.

The cemetery was started in 1850 with the first known burials, the oldest being Rev Amariah Kallock. Currently there are about 200 people buried here, some marked, some not. Most likely there are older graves that are now unmarked as wooden markers were normal during the early years and have long since disappeared.

The land for the cemetery was donated by the Crocker family, many of whom are buried here.

This is a closed cemetery.
