About Mount Moriah Cemetery

Mount Moriah Cemetery sits on a plateau above Deadwood Gulch and is the burial place of Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane and Seth Bullock. Paved roads wind through the Late Victorian grounds, which include a Jewish section with Hebrew inscriptions and a veterans section. The city suggests at least half an hour to see the celebrity graves, and a visitor center shows a fifteen-minute video on the cemetery's history. Bring cash for admission, and leave pets at home.
