Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery

If you continue east all the way down McDonald Ave., you'll end up at the historic Rural Cemetery. Many of Santa Rosa's best known residents have been buried here. If you look around, you'll see the family plot for the McDonalds, for whom the street was named. But it's not just the history buffs and descendants who visit this site. Unlike most American cemeteries, which are rarely seen in day-to-day life, this one is used regularly by people just strolling around or jogging, walking their dogs, or even sitting down to have a quick lunch, in this peaceful, park-like setting.
