Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery

Step into history this Saturday at the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery…

This striking image is of “Bloody Bill” Anderson, a notorious Confederate guerrilla involved in the Centralia Massacre during the Civil War. While his story is one of violence and conflict, it connects directly to a remarkable piece of history right here in Santa Rosa—the only surviving Union soldier from that massacre is buried in our cemetery.

Join us for a General History Tour and uncover stories like this and many more.
