Because it the state has always had a large population it has been home to a lot of celebrities. Now, because of the kind of state Texas is, these celebrities aren't the same kind you might find in the history books of New York or Wisconsin. Texas is home to legends.

One of the other things you get with a large population of living people, is a large population of deceased people...and deceased celebrities. In the state of Texas, you can find over 1,000 famous graves. You can search online to find thousands of graves in Texas of legendary American figures, actors, politicians, sports stars, musicians, astronauts, and notable notorious people.

People will travel to some of these sites to pay their respects, while others will be visited out of some level of morbid curiosity.
