Took my Girl Scout troop to the cemetary to check it out, made gravestone rubbings, and learned history. Lots to learn!

We were there to find my husband's great grandfather's grave. I had the section and tier number. The sections were confusing, and I never understood the tier numbering. What I had was Section J, Tier 1. The map only showed numbers, and the signs marking the sections were off the wall. It went from A, and next to it would... More

I went when they had the historical tour. At the entrance, I was given a map. People were dressed in period costumes and stayed in character. Each told the story of his life. It painted a picture of olden times and life in El Paso. Especially good was the John Hardin character-right out of old west history; he was excellent!... More

I've visited Concordia many times through the years and I've watched it lately as it's been cleaned up and markers fixed. If you like the history of the old west and little trivia tidbits you will adore this old cemetery in the heart of El Paso. Did you know the World's Tallest Man is buried there? He's kept company by... More

Lots of history here in El Paso...many famous people have lived and died here....and spent blood, sweat and tears to build this town and the Post here at Ft. Bliss. Very humble beginnings!

We walked from the L and J Cafe (Check out the reviews). Be careful you go to the correct cemetery as there are three that are attached. The entrance for Concordia is on Yandell, just a block north of the cafe. There is a good map of the cemetery about 150 feet inside the gate. I had heard of John... More

This is a really interesting Cemetery. I thought it was neat that they have their cemetery split up in sections depending on race. So you get to see some Different country placings

Walk through history. Try to visit when there is a cemetery tour. The Halloween tour is the BEST!!! There are several cemeteries in one here....the Chinese, the Mormons and old El Paso. Of course, John Wesley Hardin is here.

Likely named by emigrants from Concordia, Missouri, who emigrated there from Germany. This wonderful cemetery is bound by Yandell, US54, I-10, and Stevens. It is continually being upgraded and maintained throughout the year, and is fantastic! Regular "ghost" tours are, as well as other tours and special openings. I have pedaled there without any special occasion, and have viewed the... More
