Grafton, UT - Cemetery

Part of the crude cemetery in Grafton, a ghost town — but a well preserved, not decayed and falling-down one — south of Zion National Park in the western U.S. state of Utah. The town was founded by pioneers in 1859, but it didn't last. Persistent flooding of the nearby Virgin River forced most of them to abandon the town and move a mile upriver three years later. Included among those interred here are residents who died of disease or at the hands of hostile Native Americans, as well as some friendly Paiutes as well. Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2022.
