Old Town Cemetery

Located on the elevated ridge at Indianola Beach, this cemetery(also referred to as “Cemetery on the Ridge”)is one of three that served the port of Indianola during the 19th century. The oldest existing grave marker, that of James Chilton Allan, bears a date of 1851. Also buried here are some of Calhoun County's earliest settlers, who came in the first wave of German immigration to Texas in the 1840's. Many of the original tombstones, including that of Angelina Eberly (1860), have disappeared over time because of storms and vandalism.
