What an historic place

Took a tour of Oakwood Cemetery and what an eye opening experience. A large array of famous and not so famous in the Austin area. Very interesting.

Oakwood Cemetery, Austin Tx

This could've been a great experience, but really wasn't, and I'm sad for that. We love the history of old cemeteries. But we set out with some specifics and they weren't met. The Texas travel booklet said the office would have maps. We wanted to...More

Founders of Austin TX buried here!

Get introduced to many of the foundering families of Austin as well as Texas in this small but historical cemetery. You will recognize many of the names because streets, hotels and parks (Zilker anyone?) are represented and buried under beautiful head stones. Make sure you...More
