Mount Mora Cemetery, established in 1851, is the oldest operating cemetery in Saint Joseph, Missouri. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is an interpretive site of The St. Joseph Museums, Inc. Mount Mora was once the most fashionable burial place for many of St. Joseph’s wealthy and powerful citizens. The boom years of the post Civil War period, known as St. Joseph’s “Golden Age,” gave rise to the building of some of the finest residential architecture in the Midwest, and to some of the finest tomb architecture as well.
Annual membership donations may be made to the Mount Mora Preservation & Restoration Association at the following levels: Archangel - $100+; Seraph - $50; Cherub - $25. The association’s newsletter, The Voice of Mount Mora Cemetery, is issued four times per year and is a membership benefit. We do ask that the other items in the newsletter not be photocopied.
