Moss-covered angels and stately weeping cypress trees make this 150 year-old cemetery reminiscent of the Old South. It covers 65 pastoral acres and features dramatic views of Buffalo Bayou and the skyscrapers of downtown. Be sure and pay your respects to Howard Hughes when you visit. This son of Houston is buried near the ornate caretaker's cottage.
This graceful stone church with its bell tower looks as elegant as many European cathedrals. Built in the early part of the 1900s in the Stone Gothic style, it is one of the most visited landmarks in the beautiful area surrounding Hermann Park. The church is very active and welcoming with day care provided for both Sunday morning services.
