While each section of the overall cemetery has had its own name overtime, now to make things easier the property is just simply referred to as the Silver Terrace Cemeteries.

As Virginia City grew--at one point reaching up to 30,000 residents--so did the need for a larger cemetery. The town experienced several deadly mining accidents and 295 reported deaths from 1853 to 1880.
Some believe they've seen a glowing headstone at night at the Silver Terrace Cemetery, which sits along a hillside. Others believe the glowing light is from the ghost of a girl who roams the rows of headstones.
Many also claim to see blue lights floating throughout the cemetery.
