- Saint Jo has that feeling of the old west and it's no surprise as it was one of the last stops along the Chisholm Trail before crossing the Red River. On my visit I encountered some of the friendliest people that I've ever met in Texas. Join me on a tour of this charming little town.
The area will never be the same without Mel Gilbert and his freight outlet and knife shop. He didn't feel loved by the town people but others who knew him well, loved and valued him regardless. Thanks for the video.
Amazing. It's a beautiful experience to just get lost in time for a day in one of those historic little Texas towns. Thanks for the upload! 🤠👍🏼
I lived in Wichita Falls for five years when I was in the Air Force. I went through Saint Jo to and from Lake Texoma many times but never stopped. Now I'm sorry I didn't. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe one day
Thank you for all the time, effort, and fuel you put into your great content... Cheers!
Nice video of a really neat little town that I have visited several times when going thru the area. My Grandmother was born near Illinois Bend in 1879, left with her parents and six siblings when they emigrated to the Chickasaw Nation with 2 wagons, and 60 head of cattle, crossing at Red River station.. She died of tuberculosis at age 48 in Marlow, Oklahoma. Sure wish I could have known her.
Wow. Thanks for sharing your story.
I love old quiet towns like this!!!We have many like it down here around San Angelo, Tx. Cool place,and I bet the people that live there are pretty laid back.
Nice job! The folks that started the museum can trace their family all they way back to the 1850s in St. Jo. The project was a grassroots roots effort. The whole town chipped in with cash and artifact donations and they are constantly on the lookout for more things to add. They are very proud of their little museum and I have to say my visit with them and my tour of the old saloon was very informative.
I was interested in seeing how you would present this town to your viewers as I've been there several times on my motorcycle (great ride if you cut up through Decatur taking back roads then go down the "drop-off" just outside of St. Jo). It's such a quiet town square.....of the 3-4 times Ive been there, my wife and I were the only one's in the square (besides merchants).
Interesting they're remodeling the hotel. My friend who has a home near there said they were growing and wanted me to open a kolache shop in the square.
Another great video!
With DFW continuing to grow and the Hill Country being overcrowded most weekends, this may be a great alternative for people.
I would almost like to live there, looks like a nice quiet retirement community
Every person I met there was friendly
My wife's family is from there at one time both sides lived there. The Grimes and Peddycoarts. Her great great great grandpa had a ferry services on the red river.
this channel is great man.. I would love to show you some cool spots not too far west of Wichita Falls. Between seymour and Vernon, there’s nothing but wilderness… truly feels like I take step back in time when I go out there
Beautiful small town enjoyed so much thanks 😊
You are a gem finder Thank you.
This is what I was looking for beautiful video great town
I am looking for somewhere quaint for me and my carriage horses through this drought
Another great video. Always nice to hear you talking about the history of where you are.
Beautiful, remembrance of olden days
Man I lived in Burneyville Oklahoma right across the river from here for four years and had no idea this town was so preserved and beautiful
My mother's family used to come here for family get-togethers/reunions many many moons ago (1950s), out at Katy Lake. I was lucky enough to go to one of their "updated" get-togethers back in the 1980s.
I sent my mother a link to your channel, I hope she finds this video....I think she'll enjoy it.
The bluffs north of Saint Jo overlooking the Red River on FM 677 & FM 2382 are gorgeous.
I believe it. I think right now would be great time to be there with all the spring color. I was there in late winter.
Definitely some gorgeous views north of town and along the river.
Cute little town.
Wow I've never even heard of it. Got a new place to go see, thanks a lot for this video
It was a pleasant surprise for me. It's right next to Nocona so you can visit both in a weekend.
Great video always looking for a place to get away for a day or two!!
I love St Jo. I would live there if I could.
You wouldn’t like it it’s boring 😢

Awesome little town.
very nice little town, thanks for the video!
Thank you so much!!
Man it must be cool to travel Texas 👍🏻
I've been to Saint Jo many times to visit dear friend. Their Dairy Queen is awesome!! 😉
Would love to visit!! May plan a trip soon.
Such a cool video; thank you. By the way I've been meaning to give you kudos for showing the map and location of the towns you show us in the beginning of your video. It helps to visualize where the towns are.
Thanks. I thought it would give people a general idea of how far it would be for them.
I like that tornado proof house at about 6.00.
Sitting on a hilltop in North Texas, it needs to be!
ST. Jo has a dark past as well. Like the sign that was over Main St at one time.
Am interested in learning what you know.
I wonder what St. Jo would think of having a winery in St. Jo?
lol
It has 2 lol 😂
You should make a video of Mineral Wells tx. Lots of old buildings being restored. The famous historic Baker Hotel is one of the buildings being restored.
He already did a few weeks ago......👍
@@johnmyers8588 oh okay thank you
Truly enjoyed the video. Definitely a must see. What varieties of wine did they have?

Yup, the cattle did that on the Chisholm Trail🐴
Stay out of this corrupt speed trap of a town.
