Its weathered stones mark the resting places of the immigrant families who worked the surrounding cotton and corn country, and it carries the state's Historic Texas Cemetery designation.

United Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery
Schulenburg, TX
The Swiss Alp community took shape around 1865, and within two years the Philadelphia Evangelical Lutheran Church was meeting on land given by John and Christina Knippa. The first burial, in 1867, was of Emma Gertraut Ritter, soon followed by the pastor's wife, and a decade of church interments preceded the site's formal establishment as a cemetery in 1877. A 1967 merger of small area churches gave the ground its present name.
Carl T. Morene: A Shorthorn Forever
Schulenburg, TX
Born near Muldoon in 1887 to Swedish immigrant parents, Carl T. Morene came to Schulenburg in 1928 as a utility manager and became the town's beloved volunteer music teacher. When the school could no longer pay for music in 1933, he taught students after his workday, bought instruments with his own money, and during World War II spent his gas rations to get students to performances. Though he lacked a high school diploma, he earned a teaching certificate, led award-winning ensembles, and wrote the school's official song before his death in 1948.
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church
Flatonia, TX
In 1854 Matej Novak, his brother Anton, and his children settled along Mulberry Creek in a Fayette County frontier district then called Hottentot, and other Czech Catholic families soon followed. After the Civil War the parishioners built a small stone chapel, where Father Joseph Bittkowski said the first Mass at midnight on Christmas Eve 1865, and it became the first predominantly Czech Catholic church in Texas. As the community grew, the town was renamed Praha, and in 1895 parishioners raised the present church of locally quarried stone, its vaulted ceilings adorned with frescoes by Swiss artist Gottfried Flury.
SPJST Velehrad Cemetery
Hallettsville, TX
The Velehrad community, settled largely by immigrants from Moravia, created this cemetery to serve its people; Filip Bucek envisioned a national Czech burial ground but died in 1877 before it was established, and his wife Johana became its earliest known burial in 1878. It holds founders and members of the SPJST, a Czech fraternal benefit society formed in 1897, including its first vice president, Ferdinand Breska. As residents moved away after World War II the community declined, but the SPJST still tends the graves.
