    Living about 45 minutes away, my wife and I went to West Columbia last Saturday. Most of the buildings you were able to enter were locked up, but it was still an interesting road trip that we enjoyed. Thanks for the video that explained a lot of the local history.

    Varner-Hogg Plantation is a must stop and see when going through West Columbia. It’s so beautiful there.

    Another excellent episode. This time we got a glimpse of you on the reflection. Around the dinner table you are known as “the mystery man with all the Texas history”.
    Thank you for sharing.

    I live in West Columbia and I always head about how it was the first capital of Texas and I also hear a LOT of scary stories

    I live just behind the V.H.Plantation maybe 1/4 Mile in Columbia Lakes Subdivision , it has regular events and also serves as a backup evacuation route when C.R. 25 floods and you cant't get on Hwy.35 .

    Wow! I did not know that existed that town. I've been living in Texas for 17 years. I'm trying to do more traveling around and your videos really inspired me to get out and hit the open road. Keep them up and be careful out there and stay cool. Have you ever been to brenham Texas?

    We were there for a farmer's market Saturday. If you go in farmer's market days there is free entry to the plantation site.

    Are the slave cabins still there at this plantation? That school for African American children looks like a must see! Adding this town to my list of Texas towns. I’m from San Antonio and plan on touring small towns of my state! Just went to Cuero a couple weeks ago. Planning soon for Victoria and Smithville.

    Awesome.That might be the area of Texas where they are supposed to have a South Carolina accent. (Columbia being the capital of SC.)

    Another great video. The Columbia Cemetery in town is a historic cemetery with lots of historical markers. Thanks for the close up shots of several of the markers around town.

    Given the current political climate here in Texas I truly wonder if there will be some attempts to alter the reference to slavery at these historical sites.
