Historian Tui Snider gives a tour of Austin's Cemeteries, teaching viewers about Texas history, headstone markings, the meaning of symbols, and how to identify military veterans' gravestones. This is important for people honoring their ancestors and researching geneaology.

This video was produced by the Historic Preservation and Heritage Tourism Division, the Oakwood Cemetery Chapel of the Museums and Cultural Programs Division, and the Cemetery Operations Division of the Parks and Recreation Department of the City of Austin, Texas.

The video is part of "To Serve" which honors veterans buried in Austin's Cemeteries.
