The Williamson Creek Cemetery is one of Austin, TX's oldest historic enslaved cemeteries. The cemetery was neglected for years with a few volunteers making an effort to maintain the cemetery. The Williamson Creek Cemetery Care Association (WCCCA), since its first organized cleaning in 2020, has taken up the responsibility to care for and maintain this cemetery. The WCCCA, a non-profit organization, aims to actively promote, educate, and create awareness about the cemetery's historical significance. WCCCA plan to provide resources, workshops, and opportunities for individuals to learn about best practices for cemetery maintenance, historic preservation, and enslave genealogical research. WCCCA is dedicated to the preservation, beautification, and respectful upkeep of this cemetery honoring the memories and heritage of those who have passed away.
