We had been told about the renovations done to this cemetary and were very pleased we visited. Beautiful grounds, flowers, and ponds. Free admission. Lovely place for quiet and thoughtful walking tour.

You look upon the graves of men that fought for us and it's moving, I cried. I don't see how anyone could go there and it not move you to see so many deaths that fought for you to be free.

Yes it's a cemetary but quite amazing that it's the final resting place for so many famous Texans and more.

Great history. Interesting place to walk through and reflect on the many historical persons and others who rest there.

This is a cemetery of course, so not exactly exciting. But it has more "important" Texans than any other single place I know of. We spent almost 2 hours walking and enjoying on a cool spring morninng.

This peaceful and beautiful cemetery holds Texas heroes since 1851 when General Edward Burleson's was the first grave. The newest will be Coach Darrell Royal who died November 5, 2012.

Since it's multi-million dollar makeover a few years ago, including the addition of a small museum, this has become a most interesting place to visit. The most recent trip we attended a book reading at the site as part of the Texas Book Festival Weekend. In the dark of the cemetery, readings from scary books are particularly effective.

We went by this on a 90 min. bus tour; it's located at the edge of a very interesting district with lots of well restored VIctorian residences; the graveyard itself is the last resting-place of a variety of historic personages. The bus drove a bit of the way into the premises, which are manifestly well maintained.

nothing sepcial about it....just a really big cemetery! not much to look at when your there. but i did hear that people are dying to get in!
