The Navarro County Historical Society was organized in 1956. Two years later the Pioneer Village was conceived to serve as a depository for the County's surviving historic structures, heirlooms, artifacts and other family treasures. The Village is located at the famed "Watering Hole" where early day settlers circled their wagons for defence against the Indians. Today the site is the City Park located on land named for Beauford Jester of Corsicana, former governor of the State of Texas.
