The Silver Cliff Cemetery was created in the early 1880s and is located about one-half mile south of State Highway 96 on Mill Street. It is owned and operated by the Town. The cemetery is famous for its unexplained "dancing blue lights" seen on occasion and featured in the August 1969 National Geographic Magazine, Volume 136, Number 2. The cemetery is currently about 40% occupied, with plots still available. Plots are 10 feet by 12 feet and cost $500 each for Custer County Residents and $1,500 for non-residents.
