Old Bayview Cemetery Corpus Christi

Stopped by today after learning of this cemetery through "googling" what to do and places to visit in Corpus Christi. I was not disappointed! In fact, as luck would have it, I met up---quite coincidentally---with a woman that was there who is quite involved with the care, advancement, and historical information about this cemetery: Miss Karen. She made my visit extra special by telling me about the individuals interred in this cemetery, even relating details about the families buried there---their shared histories, and so forth. I was very grateful, and even more intrigued about the cemetery and those that were laid to rest in it. I cannot wait to return!

If you’re into history this is worth checking out. Park and take a walk through the cemetery and you’ll see stones from pre-1900 as well as historical markers describing some of the people buried on site. Area around the cemetery is a bit run down so be aware of your surroundings.

The cemetery is great, for the most part undisturbed, we went last year in the wintertime as the Voices of South Texas did a great informational display for all to see for free, what is really cool is all the history of this place that most dont know about, i have lived here my entire life and never knew it was even here, we explored the whole place and look forward to this years event.

It is very sad that the city does not keep up with this historical landmark. I went there this weekend and was very disappointed in its appearance. I loved it for the history but I would love to see this maintained and respected.

This historical landmark NEEDS TO BE BETTER MAINTAINED BY THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI!!!!!!

Was amazed . Great history. Many hero's there.
