Just west of the intersections of US50 and Nevada 305 near Austin, Nevada on the hill above the road one finds the well-maintained Austin Cemetary. The Cemetary is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Graves date back to the mid-1800’s. Headstones, headboards and ornate monuments mark the numerous graves. Additionally cast iron and wood palings often delineate the resting sites. Many of the large ornate granite and marble grave markers provide the deceased place of birth including Ireland and Scotland. Several markers also note the cause of death.
