Volunteers are needed to help clean gravesites and maintain cemetery grounds. You may bring your own hand tools, but power tools are not allowed. A potluck lunch will be available. Feel free to bring a dish to share.

In addition to the work day, quarterly cleanups are scheduled for Bryan City Cemetery and Oakwood Cemetery on May 5 – 9, Aug. 11 – 15, and Nov. 10 – 14.

During these cleanups, noncompliant items, such as loose objects (e.g., glass, ceramic, statues, decorations) and faded or tattered flowers, whether live or artificial, will be removed in accordance with cemetery ordinances (Sec. 22-5).

The municipally owned Bryan City Cemetery was established on June 13, 1868, with the purchase of 20 acres of land for $100.00 from J. C. Hubert, in what was then the northern outskirts of the City of Bryan. In keeping pace with the growth of Bryan, additional acreage has been purchased from time to time and presently the tract has increased to almost 67 acres, 18.5 of which was purchased from the American Legion Post.
