Take Highway 119 towards Central City in Gilpin County. Just before entering the Victorian town, turn left at the sign for Nevadaville, which will take you onto the aptly named Nevadaville Road. You'll go up past the parking lot for the casinos, turn right on Prosser Street, and the cemetery will be on the top of the hill above the parking lots.
This cemetery, with its outstanding view of Central City, was started shortly after gold brought a rush of miners to the area, in the early 1860s. There are a number of family plots.
Tradition has it that the grave of John Cameron has been visited annually on the anniversary of the young bachelor's death, Nov. 1. A young woman, dressed in black, is said to visit and leave flowers.
