Evergreen Cemetery

Evergreen Cemetery Review

Many Juneau pioneers, including Joe Juneau and Richard Harris, are buried here. Juneau (1836-99), a Canadian by birth, died in Dawson City, Yukon, but his body was returned to the city that bears his name. Harris (1833-1907), whose name can be found on downtown's Harris Street, died here. A meandering gravel path leads through the graveyard, and at the end of it is the monument commemorating the cremation spot of Chief Kowee.
