Though it is next to the road it still sits on private property. If you try to go past the gate on the property you will set off an alarm.

Most of the graves that sit within this 2 to 3 acre enclosure are primarily from the 20th century and later. There are a handful of stones from the 1800s. This is still a very active cemetery with many well adorned gravesites from the surviving family members. The cemetery looks relatively well-maintained although a handful of older headstones are lying on their sides. There is still some space for future interments, but it is mostly full. There are three entrances to the property with a single gravel lane winding through the property. For the most part the graves are laid out in neat rows and some family plot areas, but there is still a little bit of randomness in some of the graves as to how they fit in. I did spot three historical names here that are tied to Austin/Round Rock history. There were several graves dedicated to the name Gattis (Gattis School Rd) and Boatright and at least one to Bohls. The Boatright name seemed to be the most prominent name in the cemetery. Two other names that I found in number here are Templeton and Summers. There are some service members buried here along with 3 confederate soldiers, 2 of them are of the Boatright name. If you're looking for a forever home or just want to check out some names of history, this place is worth a visit.

I don't recommend driving a small compact car down this single lane rough road because of the unevenness of it. The cemetery has a hundred or more graves, many of which are of the name Hornsby. Two things I noticed, there were quite a number of graves that had the "daughters of the republic" seal on them. The other thing I observed was that there were quite a number of Texas Rangers crosses as well. The cemetery is filled with some figures of local Texas history. And like a lot of graveyards from the 1800s, sadly quite a number of those graves are infants and children. I did find two large stone historical markers, but not a Texas historical sign. There's a sign on the entry gate where you can email questions to. Immediately next-door to the cemetery there's another cemetery called Cementario Mexicano. So if you're looking for a really nice cemetery to visit, I would recommend this place, but be sure to drive an off road vehicle or pick up to get there. The photos below help with the history.

I love old cemeteries and this one is about as good as it gets…read more It has some of the most amazing old gravestones and carvings I've seen in one place. I wandered for hours reading the headstones and imagining what life must have been like back then. There are some really great Victorian type headstones, fencing and statues. I can also tell you firsthand this place is creepy at night. When I was much younger, we may have accidentally scaled the fence and gone inside. I wish I hadn't given into peer pressure but alas, there was a cute boy involved, so I gave in. We soon ran out of there because I swear a figure materialized and said "hey!" then disappeared. I was the one screaming like a girl. I won't say if there were substances involved that may have enhanced said materialization but still. I insist this really happened. I have since taken my 15 year old and her friends by there on many occasions and may have embellished the story even more to see the wide eyed stares and shaking as we drove past. Ah, I'm such a good mom.

This is Austin's oldest cemetery, with burials dating back to the 1830's. These days, you see so…read moremany of the perfectly manicured cemeteries with the evenly spaced, well-polished gravestones. The older section of Oakwood cemetery is just as painted by literature and movies - crumbled down gravestones, crawling vines, unnamed dead, multiple generations of families buried together, and wrought iron fencing. Go find the graves of John Henry Faulk, Andrew Jackson Hamilton, and Ima Hogg! I hope I have not disturbed any of the dead during my visits there or my Yelp review. I simply like to stroll through Oakwood and take in the haunted beauty. Just thought I'd share one of my favorite, lesser known spots.

The road that leads to the cemetery entrance is run down with some homeless encampments along it. There are about six parking spaces and you can actually drive into the cemetery itself. The one thing that I noticed that was conspicuously absent was a Texas historical sign which you would normally see at older graveyards like this. The cemetery would've been located on the outskirts of Austin in the 1800s, but is of course now surrounded by urban growth. There are quite a number of graves from the 1800s but there are recent burials as well. It is relatively well-maintained and there was even an information booth explaining who is buried where. This cemetery appears to be about 5 acres in size and has hundreds of graves. Many of the graves are from the turn of the 20th century or before, but there are a handful of newer ones. I did find a couple of graves from 2020. Despite looking pretty full, it appears there is still room for those who would like to be interred here. Plenty of pictures below with more information.

There are quite a few headstones from the late 1800s but there are some very recent burials as well. There are numerous service members laid to rest here including a confederate veteran. There is a mailbox just inside the gate which has a full listing of who is buried where as well as some additional information.

The sign pictured below will tell you more than I can say. This is still an active cemetery with some recent interments. Many of the graves are still adorned by visiting family members. There is a gravel lane that runs through the property and there is space to park outside the entrance. The cemetery itself is not especially very orderly with graves appearing to be randomly located around the property, but there are some family plots. There's also a mix of new and old markers along with those cast in concrete and a number of graves with no marker other than the one left by the funeral home. Still plenty of room for future interments, but there is no information on the property. You'll have to check with the Mount Olive church which sits close by. Informative photos and video included.
