Schreiner Park

Historical marker location:

Junction, Texas

( on banks of Llano River (South Fork)(enter park through N. 2nd and Pecan St.), Junction)

Marker installed: 1970

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. He pioneered in banking, marketing mohair; ran large general store.
