The Houston Pioneer Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Eau Gallie, Florida. It is located within Rossetter Park off Highland Avenue between Oak Street and Shady Lane near the James Wadsworth Rossetter House. The cemetery includes graves of original settlers from Eau Gallie such as John C. and Mary Virginia Houston. A memorial from 1947 located adjacent to the cemetery dates the first grave at 1865 [Eau Gallie Garden Club. "Houston Memorial Park" memorial dated 1947 located in Rossetter Park in front of the Houston Pioneer Cemetery, Eau Gallie, Florida.] , but no headstone contains that date.
