Calendar of Events

Walking Tour & Open House
Save Austin's Cemeteries has another cemetery walking tour scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, May 17-18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This tour will focus on Old Austin families that are buried along the Main Street of Oakwood Cemetery. Hear about Austin's history through these families.

That weekend is also an Open House event, so bring your old family photographs and documents for scanning into the computer. All scanned photos and documents will go to the Austin History Center for archiving.

We hope that you can come by and support this event.

We need volunteers who can work 2 hour shifts on one or both of these days to conduct the tours, be table hosts, and run the computer and scanner for scanning photos and documents that people bring in to share with us. We also need volunteers to provide refreshments for our visitors.

Please contact Save Austin's Cemeteries to sign up.

Thank you for your continued support.
