Brandy City is near Young’s Ravine in the Tahoe National Forest.  At one time, it was a thriving mining town at about 3,700 ft. elevation.  Today, very little evidence is present to mark its existence.  The cemetery is small and it appears many markers are missing, and there are visible old unmarked graves.  All that is left of the cemetery is what is recorded below.
