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 has seen notable figures such as Stephen F. Austin, General Albert Sidney Johnston, Governor Allan Shivers, Governor John Connally, and Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock laid to rest on its grounds.
Undergoing extensive restoration from 1994 to 1997, initiated by Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock, the Texas State Cemetery now stands as a tribute to the individuals who have made Texas famous worldwide. With a rich history and a mission to honor the contributions of governors, senators, legislators, congressmen, judges, and other influential Texans, the cemetery serves as a significant landmark in the heart of Austin.
