Taos County, New Mexico
Kit Carson Cemetery
AKA El Cemeterio Militar
AKA Military Cemetery
AKA American Cemetery



Contributed by Patricia Chambers and Karen Mitchell.
NOTE: Some of the females here are listed under their maiden names.
The original cemetery was established in 1847 when Dona Teodora
MARTINEZ ROMERO donated land for the burial of American soldiers and
civilians killed during the Taos Rebellion of 1847. The cemetery was
first called "El Cemeterio Militar.' In 1852, additional land was
purchased to enlarge the cemetery which was then the only burial
ground for non-Catholics, and was known as the 'American Cemetery.'
In May, 1869, when the bodies of Kit Carson and Mrs. Carson were
buried here, the cemetery was called the 'Kit Carson Cemetery.' There
are soldiers buried in this small cemetery who served during the
Mexican War of 1846, the Taos Rebellion of 1847, the Indian Campaigns
of the 1850's, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, World War I
and World War II. Many of the early Taos traders, merchants, and
members of old Spanish, French and American families are buried here. This tree-shaded cemetery within the Kit Carson Park in Taos, NM, is a
park in itself - with a well kept lawn and curving paths. It is found
by taking the lane that turns north at the Indian Trading Post on Kit
Carson Road. Kit Carson Cemetery - Taos.
Head southeast on Kit Carson Road toward Dragoon Lane, turn left at Morada Road.
NOTE: This is not a complete listing. If anyone knows of more burials in this cemetery please contribute them by sending to Karen Mitchell.
