Planning For The David Crockett Reunion in July 2026

Planning for the Davy Crockett Reunion in July!

We will be announcing hotel information on Monday for the reunion! We have 2 great options and are finalizing the details.

✅ Another accomodation option is staying at the Davy Crockett State Park. 🏔️

Bring your campers or tents and stay at the park with so many great things to do such as fishing, hiking, canoeing, and just absorbing the beautiful nature and scenery that south Tennessee has to offer. 🏕️ 🛶🚍🚲🎣

💰 The cost is $34 – $43 per night

As a former Scout Leader and tent camper, I am happy to answer questions for any newbies wanting to try it. And with the electricity and water at the sites, you can keep cool in July. 😎

CROCKETT DESCENDANTS UNVEILS NEW MURAL AT ACTON CEMETERY

On Friday, September 5, 2025, The Direct Descendants & Kin of David Crockett (DDDC) unveiled a moderate size mural of the famous frontiersman’s journey through Texas at the entrance to the historic Acton Cemetery on the outskirts of Granbury, Texas.  The event was held at 11:00 AM.  The seven-foot mural is now a companion piece to the famous 1913 monument of Elizabeth Crockett, David’s second wife, who was laid to rest here in 1860 along with their son, Robert Patton Crockett, and several Crockett relatives.  Elizabeth’s grave and monument is located less than two hundred yards from the entrance.

Crockett descendant, Errol Flannery of Granbury feels that the visual quality of this mural will add to the visitor experience.  “This mural has so much visual quality and information to share, “Flannery insists, “that it will be a great asset for the area, whether you’re a visitor, history buff, or homeschooling your kids.”  Created and designed by Crockett historian and filmmaker Gary Foreman, also of Granbury, the mural’s first images (of many) began its journey in 2006.  Foreman traversed the state many times, making sure the route and the stories behind them were accurate.  He has blended superb images with amazing Texas history.  Prodigy Welding & Fabrication of Granbury created the framework and completed the installation.

The Direct Descendants & Kin of David Crockett is a non-profit organization that began four decades ago and celebrates the life and time of its namesake with descendants, fans, and friends from all over the United States. Goahead.org

Member Update

 

Some confusion has crept up about this year’s reunion fees and dues. Some of our members thought the $30 reunion fee was their dues. These are two separate fees. Because of the confusion we will waive the late fee $35 reinstatement fee for those that attended the reunion.
