Description: Baby Head Cemetery, located in Llano County, Texas, is a small, historic burial ground with a rather macabre and poignant name. The cemetery's name is derived from a local legend dating back to the 1850s, which tells of a tragic incident where a young child was allegedly kidnapped and killed by Native Americans, with the child's head being found on a nearby hill. This gruesome event led to the area being referred to as "Baby Head," and the name was subsequently adopted for the cemetery and the surrounding community. Despite its grim origins, Baby Head Cemetery serves as a somber reminder of the region's turbulent past and is a place of historical significance, reflecting the hardships and stories of early Texas settlers.
