View Original Description
The Buckskin Cemetery is located off of a dirt road about 1.2 miles west of Alma, Colorado. Some grave markers predate the dedication of the land by President Roosevelt in 1902.
According to legend a smallpox epidemic struck Buckskin. Overnight the miners and their families became very sick. Wagons hauled the dead each day to the cemetery.
