A distant uncle of mine was given land around Washington on the Brazos. He later died on March 6th 1836 defending the Alamo. His name, John Henry Dillard. I have always wanted to visit Washington, Texas.
Nice sense of humor. I remember the homestead farms. Those bulls and cows can be intimidating...😂😂😂...pigs in the mud...😅😅😅 Thanks for exploring Washington, Texas with us....great video. 👍💯🎉🎉🎉
CenturyLink is/was an internet provider in that part of Texas, I think they were bought out, though. The building across from the post office was probably some kind of utility building or equipment storage for the company.
I enjoy your videos! you keep me laughing the whole time while learning bits of Texas history that is not in history books, at least not in HISD. Scarborough Alumni here...
The big turkey strutting around is the male. Turkeys can fly. The chickens are Plymouth Rock chickens. In central Texas slaves were not as prevalent. Most farmers(Germans) did their own crops/harvesting. My in laws couldn't start school until after corn/cotton harvest. Took my girls to Washington on the Brazos when they studied Texas history years ago. Thanks for the tour. Be safe!!
Hilarious! That turkey was squaring up on you. This past month I’ve come across a few of those giant spiders and their even bigger webs, and I do not like them at all. Beautiful place and $8 is good price for all you get to see. Hats off to you for taking the heat like a champ to make the video.
Washington on the Brazos, Independence, Burton, and Chapell Hill are all old towns that dried up when the railroad was declined by our ancestors in the 1880s. These were and are big farming and ranching communities rich in Texas history. Washington County was indeed the birthplace of Texas and our Declaration of Independence was drafted and signed. There are many ancient oaks several hundred years old that stand on our properties. Many of our residents today have ancestors that consisted of Czecks, German, African, and Polish. The colonial houses you visited are just like the smaller houses you visited in Independence. All the cooking was done outdoors back then to avoid burning down the house. All the pioneers back then had to fight off the Indians and Mexicans before and after the war with Santa Anna. Your videos are very entertaining, thank you for sharing.

😄Shank was not my first thought with the fork 😂It was "oh, look! a tiny pitchfork and trident to rule the seven seas." Never occurred to me to think of dominoes as anything other than The Game of Texas. Gotta have something to do while waiting on the brisket 💁♀But I am curious as to how old their set is; it looks way too new! And looks like the cooking demonstrations are Aug. 17th and 18th. Part 2? 🤔
I'm going to be honest with you Katein. I've never seen white people domino's my entire life. 🤔 I wish I could go to that cooking event, but I have other plans those days.😤
I toured those grounds in the summer about 20 years ago. I thought I was going to die. I don't recall there being water available, and we walked right down to the river as well. There is no oxygen in those buildings. It was so hot, you couldn't breathe. I had to chew on very large acorns to survive till I could get back to my car. .
What most don’t understand about Texas independence and constitution did not allow manumitted slaves or their ability to purchase land until well after the Civil War
I am a white boy grew up on a Cotten farm chopped Cotten and picked it by hand only payment was room and board one pair of blue jeans 2 shirts one pair of shoes and a pack of 8 crayons per year

We learn making mistakes. It's okay!
A distant uncle of mine was given land around Washington on the Brazos. He later died on March 6th 1836 defending the Alamo.
His name, John Henry Dillard.
I have always wanted to visit Washington, Texas.
Wow, thanks for sharing. Yeah, there's not much to see in the town itself, but the park is worth the visit.
I am learning a lot of history from your videos. Enjoying 😊 Take care.
Thanks Albert!
This so far is one of your best tours. You really got to see history. Always take water when on tour like that. Great tour.
Will do and thank you!
Those pots under the beds are chamber pots. Basically, their indoor toilets.
Ahhhhh, ok. Thank you
Nice sense of humor. I remember the homestead farms. Those bulls and cows can be intimidating...😂😂😂...pigs in the mud...😅😅😅

Than you Duchess. Thank you.😎

That makes sense. It was just so random and out of place.
Probably a Central Office for telephone and internet service.

Thank you Flora and congratulations on surviving 4 years of Scarborough HS.😩
Commentary hilarious. I enjoyed this video
I'm glad you enjoyed it Shari.😎
🤣🤣🤣I almost cheated and scrolled forward to see if he ever found water then I caught myself.

Thanks for all the info Janice and thanks for watching.
Barrington Farms shows all the history, both bad and good, kudos on your latest video.👍
Indeed it did and thank you! 😎
That was a huge turkey. 🦃. Your narration on that turkey, made my day. 😂😂😂
That was a pitbull Diana. 😂😭😂

LOL I'mma dream about that turkey tonight! Yeah, though spiders are ridiculous out in the country. I agree, $8 is a great deal to go tour this park!

Dr. Pepper should sponsor your videos
😂😂😂😂
We didn’t have AC until 1972 growing up in Rosenberg tx
ARE THOSE BUILDINGS FOR SALE
🎼🎵It's a beautiful morning🎶 Time for me to catch up with the rest of the class. Today, there's BBQ, liquor, and This Small Town. Oh, MY!
😂😂😂😂
They did indeed had ice back then in the 1800's.
Interesting. I'll have to look into how they made it.
the building you are looking at that is denoted as Century Link - is whats called a "POP" it a communications hub
Ahhh ok, thank you.

Thanks for watching my near death experience Bill. 😎
Good job!
Thanks!

Sheesh Robert, but I believe it because this summer heat is no joke!
This was great! I'm pretty sure turkeys are too dumb to harm anything other than bugs. 😄
Naaaaw I don't think so Ann. That turkey was literally making eye contact with me and knew what it was doing.
I went there on a school trip years ago
What most don’t understand about Texas independence and constitution did not allow manumitted slaves or their ability to purchase land until well after the Civil War
Maybe you should check out Houston's heritage park.
Doesn't fit my niche being Houston isn't a small town.
You are hilarious ( crock pot) the pot under bed iwas used as toilet also poor folks didnt have the fancy toilets they had out houses
That makes sense. 😂😂😂
I think my family from out there. Fielder - Wells (Fitzgerald)
Word?! There's a lot of land out here, but I didn't see a lot of people.
The toilets were called chamber pots
I love pecans also.😊
Laughed the whole way through!
Thanks for joining me with my adventure Kim. 😎
My grandma would have disowned me after beating me to a pulp for putting cast iron in the dishwasher.
I now know it's a sin.😂😭😂
The male turkey thinks he is protecting his girls from you. And they can be aggressive when they are in protection mode.
Ahhh ok, so they will attack, but can they fly?🤔
I am a white boy grew up on a Cotten farm chopped Cotten and picked it by hand only payment was room and board one pair of blue jeans 2 shirts one pair of shoes and a pack of 8 crayons per year
a Male Turkey is called a Tom.
😂😂😂
Population decreased bc they drank from the river… 🫢
Jk. Glad you didn’t drink the water, though. 😂
😭😂😭😂😭😂
