Reviews of Evergreen Cemetery
"Beautiful and interesting. An easy walk from downtown Santa Cruz. Definitely a less-visited part of SC."
"Beautiful cemetery. I absolutely love going to visit my Great Grandfather who is buried there."
"I love this place. You can download a self tour that talks about folks buried here and Santa Cruz history."
"The cemetery was really interesting and had so much great history. However, our time was cut short due to a woman who screamed at us that she was going to curse us for entering her cemetery. She wouldn't stop yelling profanities until we left."
"Fascinating cemetery, a hidden part of Santa Cruz's History. Definitely seek it out and visit for an unusual time."
