Imagine driving down the street in the middle of a big city and seeing a cemetery right next to an auto part store. This is exactly what you will see when you are driving Long Point Drive in Houston!

WHY IS IT THERE?

Heinrich Hillendahl emigrated from Germany in the early 1850s, at the time, this was prairie land. This area was populated by a large number of German families.  It was not unusual for families to bury their kinfolks in a cemetery near the farmhouse. Over the years, the property value has increased significantly. The family has refused to sell this last piece of their property.  The family continues to maintain the cemetery.
