Texas State Cemetery, 909 Navasota St, Austin (East Austin), TX 78702
This is a small but distinguished cemetery, filled with state and U.S. history and notable Texans. The first person buried here was a politician. The cemetery was reserved for lawmakers and public servants, including Texas governors, judges, soldiers, etc. One section is devoted the soldiers of the Confederate Army. In the 1950s, they started allowing other notable Texans, those who made a significant contribution to Texas history and culture.
Famous residents include Stephen Austin (the father of Texas), former governor Ann Richards, Don Baylor, Herb Kelleher the founder of Southwest Airlines, and more. There are also monuments and memorials for the Medal of Honor, 9-11, Vietnam War, Purple Heart, etc.
Founded in 1851, the cemetery is 18 acres and features a lake, oak trees, a highway, Texas flags, and a visitors center. The visitors center has videos and exhibits that cover the history of Texas. It also has restrooms.
The cemetery is very well maintained. I didn’t see any broken headstones. The headstones tend to be large but not that elaborate. A few people had Texas-shaped headstones. Texans sure have a lot of pride.
I’ve been to many cemeteries but few are as well-maintained as the Texas State Cemetery.

Annual Texas Bluebonnet hunt. It's a major year, apparently; I wanted something besides a big field of blue, so I tossed in a bit of history.
Got to explore Austin again this weekend. Got put up in the Stephen Austin. Morning view from my window.
