Learn about the early residents of Bozeman on a walk through the beautiful Sunset Hills Cemetery.

Set atop a peaceful overlook, Bozeman’s historic Sunset Hills Cemetery offers a panoramic view of downtown while each evening’s sunset reflects the nature of its quiet inhabitants. The early residents of Bozeman laid their love ones to rest in this sanctified ground overlooking the town that their toil and labor helped establish. Bozeman’s early movers and shakers rest here along with others whose stories make up the town’s historical narrative. Here you will find the Story family plot where Bozeman’s most notorious resident, Nelson Story, is laid to rest alongside his family. John Bozeman, the man for whom the town is named is interred there as well and that’s an interesting story . . . Join us for a tour of Sunset Hills Cemetery and learn the fascinating history of early Bozeman.
