The Boothill Cemetery (also known as Coulson Cemetery) is a historic cemetery in Billings, Montana. It was the burial ground for the ghost town of Coulson. It was acquired by the city of Billings in the 1920s, and a steel entrance sign was installed in 1970.[2][3] One of the most notable burials is H. M. "Muggins" Taylor, a deputy sheriff who warned the people of Bozeman about the Battle of the Little Bighorn.[2][3] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 17, 1979.[1]
