Concordia is a huge historical cemetery, probably most noted for the grave of John Wesley Hardin, the infamous gunfighter. The cemetery is divided into sections such as the Catholic or Mormon, or county cemeteries. It's a good idea to pick up a brochure/map before making your way through the grounds. On the day we visited we came across a security guard sitting in her car - really cold day - and she was very friendly and helpful, guiding us around the cemetery and telling us some of the history. If you're a lover of history, this is a very interesting place to stop. It's an easy access from the interstate highway. We were there in December so it was very quiet and we were able to drive our car throughout the cemetery grounds. Very moving graves, some well-tended, some neglected. So much history.

I made two stops at Concordia Cemetery during my visit to El Paso, including one after a late lunch at L & J Café.It is interesting, to say the least, to see the various markers and the dates. This is, if I recall correctly, the oldest cemetery in El Paso. John Wesley Hardin is buried here, and there's a memorial for the Buffalo Soldiers.For those who enjoy visiting cemeteries, this should definitely be a stop during your visit to El Paso.

I visited Concordia Cemetery do some geocaching. I had drove past the cemetery many times but was not fully aware of the history within its walls. Visiting cemetery's is not for everyone so it you are into this sort of thing there are lots of interesting burial plots to visit.

This is a treasure trove of El Paso history, with the likes of John Wesley Harding by the Buffalo Soldiers, the Chinese community, etc. A fascinating stop for residents and visitors alike!
