Billings history

Before Visit a Cemetery Day on Sunday, let's take a look and perhaps a tour through Billings' cemetery history!

Yesterday, President Joe Biden proclaimed today as Indigenous Peoples' Day, a celebration of the lives and culture of Native Americans across the country. Here in Billings, they have a celebration. But this year, it seemed noticeably absent.

I've been in Billings for 20 years and this is the first I'd ever heard about a staircase on the Rims.

Many of them had living quarters in the back where the teacher would live and most early students only went through the eighth grade.

I'd never visited the Boothill Cemetery, so I had no clue the historical significance of the former Coulson graveyard. My curiosity soon got the better of me, and I had to visit and learn more about the site.

It's on the National Register of Historic Places and can be yours for just $1.5 million.
