About the Adventure Lab:

2021 marks the 150th anniversary of Longmont’s beginnings as a town.  In February 1871, Longmont was incorporated and the site was staked out.  After five years, in 1876, the Longmont Cemetery Association was formed to manage new cemetery grounds between Mountain View and 11th Avenues, just west of Main Street.  The first recorded burial, that same year, was John Owen’s, while the area still doubled as a pasture.  (Fences would soon be raised to keep cows from stomping all over the gravesites.)

Longmont Mountain View Cemetery remains the largest cemetery for the City of Longmont; at present over 20,000 people have been interred within its 41 acres.  This Adventure Lab will take you on a beautiful walk through history, past some noteworthy markers, and under the shade of huge pines and oaks.  Take a stroll of quiet reverence as you consider the many lives and past generations that have called Longmont home.

There are a few parking spaces at the gateless entrance on the south side of the cemetery.
