The Buckeye Pioneer Cemetery is one of the last remaining relics and landmarks of the 1849 California Gold Rush community of Buckeye, which was located three miles from Churntown and one mile from Newtown. In 1850, the Boot Hill Cemetery was established at Buckeye. Today, this historic site is the resting place of some of Shasta County’s earliest pioneers. This cemetery is located on the outskirts of Redding off Irish Road off of Lake Boulevard. This is an overview of the cemetery, and not a history of the town site. Enjoy, the video!
