The Texas State Cemetery, located just blocks east of the State Capitol in Austin, is the final resting place of legendary Texans who have played a significant role in shaping the state's history. Established in 1851, the cemetery is the burial site of notable figures such as Stephen F. Austin, General Albert Sidney Johnston, Governor Allan Shivers, Governor John Connally, and Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock.
Over the years, the cemetery has undergone significant changes, including a restoration project initiated by Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock from 1994 to 1997. The establishment of a three-member Texas State Cemetery Committee appointed by Governor George W. Bush further solidified the cemetery's mission to honor the individuals who have made Texas famous worldwide.
