The Confideracy (Old South)
Between 1861 and 1865 Texas was a member of the Confederate States of America. The Confederate section, now known as the "Old South" section, recreates Texas of the mid 1800s.
The original attractions in the Confederacy included the 1,200 seat Amphitheater, which in 1968 was converted to the 950 seat Southern Palace. In addition, present for the first year were the Confederate recruiting station and old south re-enactment performers, Little Dixie Carousal, and the Butterfield Stage Coach. A Dixieland Band provided additional entertainment and Nalar's Plantation House was one of the park's largest eating areas.
