Old Catholic Cemetery
Shortly after the establishment of the Mount Pleasant Cemetery in 1860, Virginia City's Catholics started their own cemetery. Requiring their own, separate land to be consecrated, they chose Scorpion Hill northeast of the city. Like Mount Pleasant, the location was difficult to get to. When the Silver Terrace cemeteries were established closer to town, the new Mount St. Mary Catholic cemetery was started on an adjacent hilltop. What's left of dozens of graves, including collapsed fencing and headstone fragments, are scattered over the hill, but no legible markers remain.
