In 1972,
Sloughhouse Pioneer Cemetery marker
was erected by Daughters of Utah Pioneers.
Without directions, this can be a hard-to-find, out-of-the-way cemetery. And to walk around inside the cemetery, one needs a key (publicly available) to the gate. The D.U.P. Marker is mounted near the lower fence line of the cemetery, so it can be seen without going into the cemetery.
Directions: Take CA-16, Jackson Road from Sacramento. After passing Grant Line Road, go 1.5 mile and turn right onto to Meiss Road. On entry here, turn left at the Sloughhouse Historical Marker. One comes upon two business on the left. As you pass by the antique store or travel agency, stop in to pick up the key. If neither business is open, a sign on the cemetery gate says to call 1-916-479-2339. If you want to walk around inside, plan ahead.
Proceed past the business buildings and cross over a small bridge. Immediately after crossing the bridge, turn left onto the road that indicates it's a dead end and looks like a farm road. The road ends in a short distance at the cemetery.
