Mount Calvary is located near Elkhorn, a small city a few miles from Omaha.  Follow Dodge Street out to Skyline Drive, which is about 215 Street and just east of the Elkhorn River, and turn north.  Drive for a very short way, and you should see it on your left.  There are no roads into the cemetery, just a gate and walkways. 

The cemetery was established in 1868, and is still in use for burials.  It was the parish cemetery for St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, which was an old mission church of Papillion.  A new St. Patrick’s has been built north of Elkhorn, and the few records that are extant of the cemetery are located there.  Many of the markers commemorate Irish immigrants.
