Bluffton Cemetery
The Bluffton Cemetery serves as a poignant reminder of the original town of Bluffton, which was submerged by the creation of Lake Buchanan. In 1931, this "new" cemetery was established to receive 422 graves relocated from the lake's basin. Today, the site holds approximately 1,500 burials and was designated a Historic Texas Cemetery in 2001. Visitors can view the historical marker on the chapel wall and explore the grounds where early Texas pioneers and veterans from multiple conflicts are laid to rest.
