Campo Santo - San Bernardino
(Don't confuse with "El Campo Santo" in Industry)
The history of this place is incredibly complex. Here's some of it.
An 1869 Catholic cemetery, donated by a Jew - http://www.pe.com/articles/cemetery-661140-catholic-san.html
In 1940, it ceased being Catholic and many burials were moved to Mountain View Cemetery. All of the headstones were removed, but many have been replaced at the family's request. It has officially been a park since 1977.
