Spring Branch Church Cemetery

Location of the old Spring Branch Missionary Baptist Church. NASA reinterred 141 graves here from the Gainesville Baptists Church cemetery in 1964. 110 of those relocated were unidentified. In 2008 only 12 of these original graves could be found, and only 10 of those had tombstones on them.

Directions:

From I-10 take the 607 North (= exit 2). Almost immediately after this exit, take the first road to the left. Follow this road for about 1.3 miles until you get to a T. Take a sharp turn to the left. After about 0.6 miles there is a dirt road to your right. Start looking for a grassy clearing / trail to the left, about 500 ft past the dirt road. Approximately 30-40 ft into the grassy trail, look to your right. About 15 feet into the woods are 2 tombstones. (#000a and #000b). Look at the layout sheet to find the other graves.
