Golden Gate Cemetery Montgomery County Texas

Golden Gate Cemetery is located 1.0 miles west of the intersection of Hwy 2854 and Interstate 45, just south of Conroe, Texas.  Follow Hwy 2854 west from the I-45 intersection 1.0 miles then turn left (south) on Southwest Dr. and cross the railroad tracks.  After crossing,  immediately turn right (west) on an unnamed road and go 0.1 miles where the road ends at the entrance to the cemetery. The oldest headstone in the cemetery is February 29, 1952.  It is owned by the West Tabernacle Church in Conroe, Texas.
