The oldest cemetery in Riverside, CA occupies about 20 acres, 8 of which are designated as the "historic section". A group of volunteers have been working to raise money for restoration of that section and significant progress has been made.
Evergreen is the resting place of many of Riverside's seminal figures, including city founder John North; Mission Inn builder Frank Miller, and Eliza Tibbets, who planted the city's first navel orange trees.
