The City of Helena/Lewis and Clark County Heritage Tourism Council will be unveiling a new historic sign for the Lewis and Clark County Hospital Cemetery at noon, Wednesday, May 20, 2026. The public is invited to attend.
The Lewis and Clark County Hospital Cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The original historic district boundary was expanded to include the Lewis and Clark County Hospital Cemetery in 2025.
The cemetery is located north of Custer Avenue on the east side of North Benton Avenue between Flagstone Avenue and Chert Place. The cemetery was originally part of the hospital from 1891-1916 and contained approximately 381 men, women and children. The cemetery is currently undeveloped City parkland and is located west of the future North Benton Trail.
