Opened in 1870, Calvary Cemetery is the city’s second oldest and only Catholic cemetery. Some notable figures buried here include department store founder T. S. Martin, rock star Tommy Bolin, Community House founder Mary Treglia, and four bishops of the Sioux City Diocese.

The Sioux City Public Museum developed a series of cemetery tours as a way of exploring interesting people and stories of the past. Along with visiting the graves of several prominent individuals and families, tour guides will show historic photographs, provide biographical information, and tell about their lives. To fully explore the cemetery, quite a bit of walking will be required including some hills.
