Pioneer Cemetery

Settlers in Salt Lake City, UT first buried their dead at a cemetery between 200 West and 400 South, but over the years, the site was forgotten. In 1986, remains were unearthed during construction, and reinterred at this location.

Did you know? The pioneer burial site was on top of a Native American burial ground. While excavating block 49, archaeologists found the bodies of three Native Americans and two pit houses used by the ancient Fremont Indians who predated the indigenous tribes of Utah.
