A cemetery might not be the first spot you think you’d want to spend your Saturday, but there's a unique event this month that you might want to check out. Houston is home to the Historic Glenwood Cemetery, and on August 27th, you can take a guided tour of the historic site. Located just a mile and a half from Siena at Memorial Heights, the cemetery offers some of the most picturesque grounds in the area.
The cemetery was established in 1871 and is the final resting place for many iconic Texans. The tour will take guests on a journey through the lives and stories of many of the people buried throughout the grounds and also explore significant statues and landscapes that can be see in the cemetery. The tour only happens four times per year and reservations are necessary, so be sure to reserve your spot if you’re hoping to attend.
