The timing may suggest a scary experience but the Mesa Historical Museum’s annual self-guided walking tour of the Mesa City Cemetery is all about learning, not frightening.

Mesa High students who participate in sports or clubs make a trip each fall to the City of Mesa Cemetery to clean up the grounds. It’s a way to give back to their community and honor the late Jackrabbit Zedo Ishikawa, who is buried there. Ishikawa’s dying words, “Carry on,” became the school’s motto, and today’s students aim to carry on the cemetery tradition.

The cemetery has over 38,000 permanent residents, including musician Waylon Jennings and the man behind the Supreme Court's Miranda Rights case, Ernesto Miranda.
