Kosse African American Cemetery, is a historic burial ground located near the town of Kosse in Limestone County, Texas. Established during the late 19th or early 20th century, the cemetery served the African American community of Kosse and the surrounding rural area during a period when segregation shaped nearly every aspect of public and private life, including burial practices.

The cemetery is representative of many historic African American burial grounds across Central Texas, where formerly enslaved individuals, their descendants, laborers, farmers, veterans, and families were laid to rest with dignity despite limited resources and recognition. Many graves are modestly marked or unmarked, reflecting both the economic conditions of the time and the cultural traditions of the community.

Kosse African American Cemetery stands as an important cultural and historical site, preserving the legacy of African American residents who contributed to the growth and development of Kosse and Limestone County. Beyond its role as a final resting place, the cemetery serves as a tangible link to generations whose stories are often underrepresented in written records but remain vital to the region’s shared history.

Today, the cemetery is a place of remembrance, reflection, and historical significance, underscoring the importance of preservation, documentation, and continued respect for African American heritage in Texas.
