If you have loved ones who are buried at Ebenezer or have any connection to the Ebenezer community at all, please join us for our annual meeting and lunch where we will also take donations for the cemetery and the church.
The Houston and Texas Central Railroad established the town of Groesbeck on February 20, 1871, with schools being established shortly thereafter. These early schools were either private schools that students paid tuition to attend or community schools established by the county judge at the request of residents. As was common during the time period throughout the Southern United States, schools in Groesbeck were segregated with separate facilities provided for white and black students. The first known school for black students was a community school located on a one-acre tract near what is now the Lone Star Cemetery. It was established in 1882.
Homecoming week is upon us and a full two days of homecoming festivities are planned. The Groesbeck Ex-Students give annual honor awards each year to a few individuals, as well as choose honorees for the parade floats, a parade marshal, host a lunch, and assist in 50-year diploma presentations and pre-game ceremonies.
The Groesbeck volleyball team opened its District 20-3A campaign on a positive note with a three-set sweep of Elkhart.
The 2023 Groesbeck Homecoming parade will be held on Saturday, Sept. 16 at 10:30 a.m. in downtown Groesbeck.
