Description:
On the edge of the Navasota River, Confederate Reunion Grounds State Historic Site commemorates a place where Confederate Civil War veterans and families reunited from 1889–1946. Today, it remains a gathering place for events and family reunions, and features an 1902 dance pavilion, Civil War-era cannon, and ruins of structures from the “Roaring ‘20s” and Mexia Oil Boom. The 76-acre Confederate Reunion Grounds, a Texas Historical Commission property, is located in Limestone County at the confluence of the Navasota River and Jack’s Creek. Historic architectural attractions include the 1893 dance pavilion, entrance marker and iron archway, 1920s pump house, ruins of Miss Mamie Kennedy’s “Delight House,” Colonel Humphrey’s Arch and Spring, rock and concrete barbecue pits, and rock chimneys, foot bridges, ponds, fountains, cisterns and wells throughout the site. Walking trails include a remnant of the brick “Old Coolidge–Reunion Grounds” Road.
