Add PhotosThe Broadway Cemetery is located on the corner of Broadway and Park Avenue in Winchester. It is across from Shearer Elementary School.
The land for the Broadway Cemetery, according to records at the Clark County Courthouse, was purchased "from John Bruner, one half-acre of land" on 4 September 1833. In addition, another quarter-acre of land was purchased on 19 October 1833 from William Ritchie for use "as a public burial ground for the victims of cholera."
The cemetery was used until 1854, when the Winchester Cemetery opened for public burial. There are town legends that state that the bodies here were reinterred in the Winchester Cemetery in 1963, but according to the Winchester Cemetery Office, not a single body from Broadway was ever moved to the newer burial ground.
The records of this cemetery have been lost to time. There are few surviving accounts of who was buried there. Today, the cemetery is a barren lot of grass with two concrete markers.
