1. Schreiner Park Marker

Inscription.

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.

Erected 1970 by State Historical Survey Committee. (Marker Number 4604.)
