Bolinas Cemetery
Also known as Birones Graveyard, Druid Cemetery, and Saint Mary Magdelena Church Cemetery.
Established in 1853, Saint Mary Magdalen is the oldest cemetery in Marin County. The original cemetery was installed on a parcel donated by landowner Gregorio Briones, and until 1878 was the only cemetery available for local burials.
In 1878 the Briones family donated the property, including the cemetery and the newly built church, to the San Francisco Archdiocese.
In the 1870s the location became home to churches and associated cemeteries installed by local assemblies of the Druids, the Methodists, and the Presbyterians. The Catholic cemetery has been in use to various degrees ever since.
