High on a hill northeast of downtown Lewistown is the historic Catholic cemetery, Mount Calvary, established in 1895. The cemetery is a bit challenging to find but well worth the efforts.

It is a significant property marking early settlement patterns in Lewistown, which was incorporated in 1899. But its greatest value is its wealth of funerary art.

Mount Calvary’s first generation of burials is concentrated on the hill top. But this cemetery is large and still active. The lower section has numerous interesting tombstones from the second half of the 20th century.
