Charlie Christian’s Grave

Location: Bonham, Texas

Gates Hill Cemetery
S. Main Street
Bonham, TX 75418

Jazz guitar legend Charlie Christian was born in Bonham, and is buried there. Sadly, the house he grew up in no longer stands, but those who wish pay their respects to this great innovator can do so at the Gates Hill Cemetery. His grave marker is clearly visible, and flowers are welcome.
