Drytown City Cemetery, aka Drytown Protestant Cemetery, is located near the small town of Drytown. Back in the early 1850s the standing joke was there was nothing dry about Drytown as it had 26 saloons. The name refers to the creek that was dry during the summer months. The first gold in Amador County was believed to be found in Drytown.

The cemetery is landlocked by private land even though the county owns the 1.5 acre parcel and has no egress. Otherwise, permission must be given by the land owners as it is a working cattle ranch. Contact the Amador Cemetery Board for more information.

The plaque at the entrance says 1850, making it one if not the oldest cemetery in Amador County. The oldest existing headstone is Mary Hummell, who died in 1850 at age 16 years, 1 month and 4 days.

The cemetery is considered closed, except for family members.
