Liendo Plantation in Hempstead

Liendo Plantation

It was built in 1853 by Leonard Waller Groce, son of Jared Groce, who was one of largest land owners in Texas. Originally, it was a Spanish land grant of 67,000 acres assigned to Justo Liendo, the plantation's namesake. One of Texas' earliest cotton plantations, Liendo was home to sculptress Elisabet Ney and her husband, Dr. Edmond Montgomery, from 1873 to 1911. Both are buried on the grounds. Liendo is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
