Liendo Plantation, Historic plantation in Hempstead, Texas.
The plantation features a grand residence built in 1853 with Greek Revival architecture, complete with tall columns across its white-painted facade.
During the Civil War, the property served as Camp Groce, a Confederate training facility and prison camp that held over one thousand Union soldiers.
Sculptor Elisabet Ney and physician Edmund Montgomery acquired the property in 1873, transforming it into a center for intellectual and artistic pursuits.
The plantation stands two miles northeast of Hempstead, accessible via FM 1488, though it remains closed for public tours and events.
The original cotton plantation grounds now function as a cattle ranch while maintaining its status as both a private residence and national historic landmark.
