BASTROP COUNTY AREA CEMETERIES AND ORGANIZATIONS
Bastrop County's Historic Cemeteries
EVENT- 154, 155 Oak Hill Picnic May 29, 2021
Below are Links to individual cemeteries within the boundaries of Bastrop County or were historically in the county before political lines were changed (e.g. Lee County created, etc.). The names of cemeteries also have changed over time.
COMING SOON: The Cemetery list will be organized by a unique identifier number which may repeat due to multiple names. An example would be 41 Coats Cemetery and 41 Coates Cemetery because the spelling was published both ways.
Next, the map published in Vol. 1 “Bastrop County Texas Cemeteries,” courtesy of author and historian Audrey Rother, will appear in this space. The map will include the corresponding numbers (in red) for cemeteries and provided for free to download or print by BCHC. This reference will help locate cemeteries until a map grid referencing geographic location or area is updated during the 2020-2022 survey updates. BOOKMARK the BCHC webpage as we go digital: Essential for family research, geneaology, photos, and preservation efforts by BCHC in the future.
