Houston’s historic Glenwood Cemetery was founded in 1871 as a picturesque garden style cemetery. Glenwood derives its historical significance from its origins in the cemetery park movement of the 19th century and its extensive collection of historical monuments and statuary. Many of the people buried here at Glenwood have made important contributions to our city, state, nation, and the world.
