  Huge cemetery with lots of history. This is my first time in Austin, visiting from Chicago & this is definitely a place worth checking out.

  As a Mortician by trade I'd say this is one of the oldest and most well maintained cemetery I've come across, beautiful landscape, lots of history. Worth the drive.

  This is the oldest cemetery in Austin and a great place for history buffs and paranormal investigators. Legend states that the first tenants were victims of a Comanche attack whose bodies were laid to rest on the same hill in the 1850s. Later on, dead paupers, who were used in medical experiments, were buried in unmarked graves on the cemetery's south side. In addition, graves without permanent markers were subject to reburial after a given period. Despite its protected status in the National Register of Historic Places, the cemetery has been subject to crime, vandalism and decay for decades. Locals believe that this troubled history has caused the cemetery to be haunted!

  If you're looking for a new unique experience go walk around Oakwood Cemetery. There is so much history and so many stories on the gravestones. Many very important people and families are buried here. The vast history of Austin is reflected in the graves of this cemetery. The gates are closed at night, so go walk around and just experience this piece of old Austin.
