There's a Texas historical sign at the entrance which states that there are over 1300 graves on the property. It's current location makes it a very peaceful spot, but in the decades to come that may change as urban development moves this direction. This cemetery is very well ordered into family plots, and individual graves. The property is well manicured and cared for with a few shade trees on the property, but no registry is found here. Many of the older graves are located towards the back of the cemetery. At the furthest point behind the cemetery are the newest interments which is where you will also find a covered memorial area. Still plenty of space at the back if you're looking for a quiet resting place. Informative photos included here and on Google maps.

As you're pulling out of the small town of Holland on your way towards Temple, you'll spot this…read morelarge cemetery directly on noisy highway 95. There's probably more people in interred here than live in the cities of Holland and Bartlett combined. The entire cemetery is laid out in orderly family plots, and individual graves. There are some headstones from the late 1800s, but most are from the early part of the 20th century and it is still an active cemetery. Some plots show signs of visitation, but most do not. The one thing that I was surprised not to find was a Texas historical sign, especially considering the hundreds of headstones. There is still some available space in case you're considering a forever home. Informative photos and videos included.

Next to this cemetery is another cemetery called the Old Black cemetery which sadly looks in disarray. The property here is surrounded on all sides by cornfields thus making it a quiet and peaceful place. Virtually the entire cemetery is laid out into family plots, neatly arranged and cared for. There are hundreds of graves here, many of them from the late 1800s, but I could find no Texas historical sign on the property. Off to the side of the property, you'll find a very detailed listing of who's buried where. This is still an active graveyard, but there's not a lot of space left.

It is remarkably well organized and tended to with a gravel road running through some entrances. On the north end of the property you'll find the older gravemarkers from the late 1800s and early 20th century. All of these older headstones have been well cleaned, cared for and restored. Most of the family plots here are covered in P gravel with concrete borders. I found 8 Texas historical signs (there might be more!) relating to the cemetery and some of its notable occupants. To be honest, I have never seen so many Texas historical signs in a cemetery, there's a lot of history in the folks buried here. At the south end of the property are the newer interments including a covered area for a memorial. On the far south side, there is still quite a number of acres available for future interments in case you're interested. The 10 photos included don't even begin to capture the scope of this amazing piece of property. If you're a Texas history buff this would be a good place to stop.

This is one of those well laid out and organized cemeteries of family plots with borders. This is still a very active cemetery with numerous well visited graves adorned with momentos. There are many headstones from the late 1800s and early 20th century. There is a sign at the entrance stating that there are 105 Confederate soldier graves on the property. Many of these older graves are blended in with the newer ones. There is a semi paved, gravelly road that weaves through the entire complex and near the center is a covered memorial area. Towards the back half is where the more interesting markers are. There are some above ground mausoleums, including a full-size family mausoleum. Towards the rear is where you'll also find one or more Texas historical signs. There's far more to see here than the pictures below spell out. The best entry point is on Industrial Park Road.

The historic downtown area seems to be a little more alive than most of these small towns, but there are still a few shuttered businesses. This town doesn't appear to be as economically depressed as its neighbor Bartlett, and that may be due to its proximity to Temple. And like most of these small towns, you'll find the usual water tower and large grain silos near the tracks. Most of the businesses are directly along Highway 95 or on Travis Street where you'll find the historical downtown. There's a small handful of things that would draw you to stop in this town, including a handful of shops, community center and restaurant downtown. The photos included will give you a better idea of what to expect.
