Discovering San Antonio's Hidden Cemeteries

This comfortable walking tour will highlight three adjacent cemeteries - all listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The peaceful setting among mature live oaks offer an opportunity to linger as we respectfully recall the lives of the individuals at rest - some famous, some infamous, and others less remembered. Included will be: Clara Driscoll, Savior of the Alamo, Sam Maverick, Signer of Texas Declaration of Independence, David Barkley, WWI Medal of Honor recipient, Julian Onderdonk, Painter of Texas landscapes, Alfred Giles, Prominent Architect, Buffalo Soldiers, and many others. Our walk will enable a better understanding of cemetery history, architecture, and the use of symbols expressed in carved stone. Excellent photo opportunities throughout.
