Located just nine miles north of Llano along Texas State Highway 16, Baby Head Cemetery is a small, sparse patch of Hill Country earth dotted with sun-bleached stones and twisted live oaks.
“It’s right off the side of the road. It’s just an old cemetery,”
said Rebecca Flynt, who works at the visitors center in Llano. The historical marker at the site tells the official story, but locals claim it runs deeper and darker, closer to myth than history.
Historians admit that the details are difficult to verify, adding to the mystery and legend of Baby Head Cemetery.
