Leadville: Evergreen Cemetery Lantern-Lit Walking Tour｜United States

Step beyond the gates of Leadville’s historic Evergreen Cemetery, where miners, madams, lawmen, immigrants, entertainers, and forgotten families tell the story of one of Colorado’s wildest silver-boom towns.

By lantern light, wander among weathered monuments and sunken graves as you uncover the lives of legendary showman Texas Jack, colorful madam Mollie May, fallen Marshal George O’Connor, Irish miners, and those resting anonymously in the Catholic Pauper Section.

Learn the secret language carved into Victorian headstones, hear stories of hardship, scandal, courage, and sacrifice, and discover the local legends that still whisper through Evergreen after dark.

With compelling history, moments of humor, and just a touch of ghost lore, this 90-minute cemetery walk is ultimately about more than how Leadville’s residents died, it’s about how they lived, what they left behind, and one haunting question: How do you want to be remembered?
