Just nine miles north of Llano along Texas State Highway 16, a small, paved pull-off leads to a gate marked “walk in gate.” Beyond it lies Baby Head Cemetery, a sparse patch of Hill Country earth dotted with sun-bleached stones, twisted live oaks and the uneasy silence of legend.
“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.
“There’s a marker there that tells that story. It’s the age of the stones, the age of the graves and the lore on the marker – that adds an element to it.”
The historical marker tells the official story, but locals know it runs deeper, darker and closer to myth than history. Historians admit the details are difficult to verify.
