Remains to be Seen at Cheesman Park

Season 4, Episode 210,   Mar 27, 2023, 09:00 AM

Mount Prospect Cemetery was one of Denver's very first cemeteries. They opened it with hopes and dreams that Denver's wealthy and influential would rest here for eternity. Soon though all that are being buried are outlaws, criminals and the poor. It is then converted from a cemetery to a park. Thanks to a corrupted and greedy undertaker Edward McGovern, not everyone is buried elsewhere. When you go to the beautiful park today you are also visiting a cemetery as many bodies remain here to this very day.
