Oakwood Cemetery Chapel - 17th Annual Murder, Mayhem & Misadventure Walking Tours

Join the Save Austin's Cemeteries at The Oakwood Cemetery for the 17th Annual Murder, Mayhem, and Misadventure tours.

Some of Oakwood’s “residents” are eager to tell their stories - including the mother who had to bury two of her children, a man who was shot for not getting a job, suicides, murders, and love triangles.

Remember to come prepared.  Please wear comfortable shoes as some of the terrain can be uneven. All children must be accompanied by an adult and no pets are allowed in city cemeteries. For those with mobility issues, a chauffeured golf cart will be provided twice during the day. 

Tours start at 10:00 a.m. and leave on the half-hour, with the last tour strolling out at 2:30.  Each tour lasts about 45 minutes.
