Black plaque № 17352

Junction, TX, United States

Schreiner Park. Used as a park long before formally deeded to people by Capt. Charles Schreiner in 1916. Picnics and gatherings were held here, as well as political rallies. A large rock doubled as podium. When the Confederate veterans reunion was held here, 1908, rains caused Llano River to flood.

For 3 days people on both sides of the river were conveyed back and forth by an aerial "tramway" to visit and attend meetings and programs. Park donor Charles Schreiner (1838-1927) was born in France.
