Since tonight is Halloween, I thought it might be sort of appropriate to learn some of the fascinating history of San Francisco’s cemeteries in this episode of California’s Gold. But instead of spooky stuff, Huell shows us some of the most amazing and beautiful spots in the city — and tells stories about a few of the most illustrious and most colorful citizens of San Francisco and California.

Join Huell as he discovers the sacred grounds that still exist today at San Francisco de Asis (Mission Dolores) and the San Francisco National Cemetery at the Presidio. He also enters the neoclassical San Francisco Columbarium where the ash remains of many notable San Francisco family members rest within the beauty of an architectural gem.
