The Carver Museum in partnership with the Save Austin Cemeteries organization is working on the Historic Plummers Cemetery Inventory Project. These organizations need the East Side Community’s help in gathering information regarding African-American history in Austin, starting with Plummers Cemetery at 1150 Springdale Road.

This historic African-American cemetery has many unmarked graves, along with reputed graves under Springdale Road. If you have family members buried at Plummers Cemetery or if you own plots there, please come out to Plummers Cemetery on Saturday, June 20th from 9 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
