Historic Texas State Cemetery

Come paint the historic Texas State Cemetery with us!

"The Texas State Cemetery is located approximately one mile east of the Texas Capitol between Navasota and Comal Streets, measuring approximately 18 acres in size. Founded in 1851, the Cemetery has deep roots in Austin and Texas history. First conceived as a cemetery for lawmakers and public servants, the Cemetery has evolved to become a burial ground for Texans who have made significant contributions to Texas history and culture in any number of fields, from artists and athletes to scientists and scholars. The Texas State Cemetery has come to represent the best of Texas and what makes this great state a unique and special place." --Texas State Cemetery website
