To celebrate this designation, the Cemetery will be the site of a dedication ceremony on June 27 at 2 p.m. to mark the unveiling of the Historical Cemetery Marker. The cemetery is located at 25800 Zion Lutheran Cemetery Road. The dedication of the Official Historic State Cemetery Marker will be conducted by members of the Harris County Historical Commission.

According to Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery Committee Chairman Charles Bogs, in order to receive official recognition as a historic cemetery, several months worth of research, conversations with state representatives and application processes were required.

Bogs explained that the cemetery was founded by the Mueller family in 1873 and was later used by the Stuebner family, who were neighbors of the Muellers. The cemetery was conveyed to Zion Lutheran Church in 1907 and is still in use today.
