Confederate Reunion Grounds State Historic Site, Historic site in Limestone County, United States

Confederate Reunion Grounds is a state historic site near Mexia where the Navasota River meets Jack's Creek. Its 1893 dance pavilion, entrance iron archway, Colonel Humphrey's Arch and Spring, rock barbecue pits and ponds stand among large bur oaks. A Civil War cannon, "Old Val Verde," sits beneath the flagpoles at the crossing of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson Avenues.

Reunions of Confederate veterans and their families were held here from 1889 to 1946, usually in late July or early August, with camping under the bur oaks, speeches, concerts, dances and fundraising for soldiers' families. The Civil War-era cannon "Old Val Verde," displayed beneath the flagpoles, saw action for both Union and Confederate forces.

From 1889 to 1946, veterans and their families camped under the bur oaks in late July or early August, hearing speeches and concerts, dancing, and raising money for the families of soldiers who had died. The 1893 dance pavilion, Colonel Humphrey's Arch and Spring, and the barbecue pits were built for these reunions. The site is named for those gatherings.

The site is managed by the Texas Historical Commission and welcomes visitors with guided tours and educational programs available. The grounds include mature trees and natural waterways, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended for exploring the property.
