There are some dedicated volunteers who have spent years removing the overgrowth and trash that was dumped here. There is still a sizable section of the graveyard that is thoroughly hidden by trees and overgrowth. The cemetery was begun in 1893. This is primarily an African graveyard and there are former slaves buried here. Unfortunately there are many graves that do not have markers. It is believed there are about 700 to 1000 people buried in this acreage. One thing this property also has an abundance of are African white Irises and one of the last surviving areas of the Post oak trees. The sign that designates this graveyard is currently being replaced and there is yet no Texas historical marker either. This is still an active graveyard and there have been recent burials. I found out that about 10% of the graves here are of infants. There are also numerous veterans graves.

A very nice cemetery. Lots of volunteers have been clearing this spot for years. It's actually the…read moreParks Spring Cemetery; but since all the variations are pronounced the same... no harm, no foul.

This cemetery is located about a mile from Elgin City Center on E. 2nd St. There is a historical…read moresign at the front of the cemetery which denotes this place as being primarily an African-American cemetery. There are hundreds of graves sitting on this acreage. Despite the fact that the grounds are mowed, many of the gravesites are in disarray with crooked and fallen over headstones. Another aspect of this place is the large number of handmade concrete markers with handwriting which were very inexpensive to make. For the most part the cemetery is fairly well ordered but there is some randomness to it as well as far as how the graves are arranged. This may still be an active cemetery, although the newest interment I could find was from 2020. The photos included in the review tell the rest.

A busy road in front of it, residential homes nearby, and a storage facility directly behind it. The property is relatively well cared for, and even the older headstones from the late 1800s have been cleaned and restored. Like pretty much all cemeteries from this time, people did not live very long and you see plenty of infant and child graves. This may or may not be an active cemetery anymore since the last internment here was in 2012. I did find some Woodman of the world markers and a confederate soldier grave. One thing that was conspicuously absent was a Texas historical sign. The pictures included tell the rest of the story.

Sandwiched between Round Rock and Georgetown in the countryside along County Road 110, you'll find…read morethis cemetery. It sits on about 3 acres and is oddly divided between the older headstones on the south side and the newer ones on the north side with an expanse of land in the middle. Right next-door is a camper and boat storage facility. The property is relatively well cared for, although many of the older headstones really could use a good cleaning. There is a Texas historical sign on site which speaks of the Swedish settlers in the area. This makes sense since many of the headstones reflect the language. One thing that I found odd was there were our family plots covered in pea gravel laid out, but they are unclaimed. For that matter, virtually the entire cemetery is laid out in square family plots in an orderly manner. One name that stood out here, was the name Bergstrom, which reminds me of Austin's airport namesake. The newest internment that I could find was from 2025 and there is plenty of space still available. One thing that was conspicuously missing from the newer markers were small oval porcelain photographs of the deceased cemented to the headstones. As for the rest of the story, I'll let the photos, video and historical sign tell the rest.

It sits just on the outskirts of the Hutto city limits and despite still being somewhat in the country, there are some new homes next to it. There are quite a number of headstones from the 1800s and there are many veterans buried here including a couple of confederate soldiers. The cemetery has a single lane gravel road running through the sections. This is still an active cemetery judging by a few very recent burials. There is a Texas historical sign at the entrance that tells you some great historical facts and is included in the photos of this review. This location is well manicured and the headstones are well arranged, not scattered about. You'll find many well cared for headstones, but there are no above ground mausoleums. This is one of the nicest cemeteries worthy of spending some time walking through.

This cemetery sits several miles outside the Manor city limits. It's one of those "in the middle of…read morenowhere" cemeteries surrounded on all sides by the quiet Texas countryside. It's fairly small, sitting on about 2 acres more or less. This is still an active cemetery with some recent interments. There are many of the newer headstones depicting the photos of those interred. As a result, it would be logical to assume this is primarily an African-American cemetery. Many of the older markers are either toppled or in some state of disrepair. The cemetery has a lot of randomness to it according to how the graves are laid out. Most of the graves are made of granite, but there are some from the early 20th century cast in concrete, a cheaper material. The oldest grave I could find was from 1897. The one predominant name I found here was the name Morrow. If you're looking for a peaceful place in the country to make your forever home, this would be a good choice.

One thing I was surprised not to see was a Texas historical sign posted by the cemetery with some historical information. However, I did spot a post that was sheared off which may well have had a historical sign but, has since been removed by vandals. There is a Texas historical sign on the opposite side of the road from the entrance, however it refers to a school that is no longer at that location. Judging by many of the names on the grave stones, it certainly appears that many of those buried here are of Swedish descent. I did spot one grave that represented a 19 century trade union which I've seen at other graveyards in the Austin and Manor area. Many of the graves are from the early 20th century, but two were from 2018. This picturesque cemetery seems to still have plenty of room for future residents. So if you're looking for a peaceful resting place away from the city, this might be a good choice. I decided to take extra pictures since there was no historical sign.

I think I want to be buried here. A lovely and serene place. A variety of sculptures are placed throughout the grounds. On one side, there is a green, lush pasture with grazing cows. On another side, the most beautiful aspect of this cemetery -- the prayer garden. It was larger and more pleasant than I expected. There is a lovely little pond and a trail that passes multiple family plots. It has that magical hidden-from-the-world feeling. I neglected to take photos since I wanted to avoid photographing any gravestones. Why doesn't every cemetery have a prayer garden!? This cemetery serves all faiths. Oh and they offer GREEN BURIALS (sign me up). There's no official parking lot -- you just find areas to pull over. There is a slightly larger area to pull over by the portable toilets (by prayer garden entrance). Cemetery hours are dawn to dusk, daily. The official hours listed here are for the office, which has limited hours and is closed on weekends. Office staff is very friendly (I called to confirm hours).

There were some gravel pathways and and some statuary that were very pretty. Behind the graves there was a prayer walk way with headstones, chimes and figures dedicated to St. Francis of Asisi. There is no real parking lot to speak of but you can park on the gravel near the opening of cemetery. Also, there are no real bathrooms here. There is a port o potty but it's super gross so be aware to take care of that somewhere else.
