Dayton, NV 89403
Dayton Cemetery, founded in 1851, is one of the oldest continuously maintained cemeteries in Nevada, reflecting the rich history of the region. Notable burials include James Finney, known as Ole Virginie, after whom Virginia City is named, and many individuals from the predominant Italian community that shaped Dayton's early development.
Recognized as a State of Nevada Historical Landmark, the cemetery features visible remnants of the historic wagon tracks that once served the trail to the mother lode. With its serene environment and historical significance, Dayton Cemetery serves as a testament to the area's cultural heritage and the lives of those who contributed to its legacy.
