Liendo Plantation    Nov 18-20, 2016       
Historic Plantation Leindo, near Hempstead Texas is one of the older land grants in Texas . It is the site of the first large cotton plantation in Texas located near Hempstead and is the plantation mentioned in Texas History texts as Groce’s Plantation where the Texas Army stopped to train before its victory at San Jacinto.

The house that is on the site hosted Sam Houston and George Custer. It is a great setting for a living history event. 


Liendo Plantation is located in Hempstead, Texas – 55 miles west of Houston, just North of Highway 290, on Wyatt Chapel Rd., in between Liendo Parkway and 1488.
