Westonia Cemetery
Small, private cemetery which is no longer in use. There are about 8 graves here. Located immediately adjacent to State Road 607, most people just drive by without ever noticing it.
Directions:
Head west on Highway 90, and continue on the 607 where Hwy 90 turns left. After 3.6 miles, start looking for this small, fenced in cemetery to your right. It is visible from the road, but as it is close to the road, you might miss it driving 60 miles an hour. If you're coming from I-10, take exit 2 to take the 607 south. After 2.5 miles you will see it to your left, but you will have to go a little further and make a U-turn, about 0.4 miles.
