What a magnificent Capitol! That pink granite is beautiful. I confess that I was awed when I stood on the mezzanine and looked up at the dome. Then awed again when I looked down at the six flags. God bless Texas!
I am a 5th generation Austin, Texan whose ancestor fought at the Siege of Bexar. Thank you for showing the beauty of our capital. I have been inside many times over the years and am always awed at its beauty. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Austin.
Awesome content!!! We LOVE Texas! Had to laugh when your son co-opted your video! That was a great history lesson (you’ve obviously had some influence there😉). Always enjoy Sundays watching! Your biggest Tennessee (formerly California) fans!
Thank you so much for this video. I’m a Texan but now reside in Alabama. So proud to be a Texan. I’ve never been to the State Capital so I appreciate this video so much. Thank your son for the information too. Love every thing about Texas and all you can share with us
Thank you for the excellent narrative Tour. I'm a native Texan born 1961 and yet to visit my state Capital. I've only visited the Battlefields to win our Independence. I will before my lifetime ends "Thank You" again from Carlos Almendarez Corpus Christi, Tx
Thanks again Jeff , Jeremy for sharing some history of Texas, I see Dad got his clothes back, also Thanks to Sarah for holding down the fort in California
My mother and I were there in the early 90s but the building was closed. Thanks for the tour. My family were at the original Six Flags over Texas back in 1965. Lots of fun.
Always loved Texas. In my line of work i got to experience many cultures, people, and landscapes. From the desert to the plains, to the seashore and beyond. However, if i wanted to ski, i had to go to NM.🙂 Great video Jeff, glad to hear the story about the 6 flags. No longer will i be "worried" about that name. I can rest easy now. Be blessed by the Best and never forget that Texas could be the 3rd largest state if Alaska ever decided to cut itself in half. Say howdy to your son.
@@jbenziggy Blessings to You,Sarah and Jeremy as well. I am a very proud American with 1/3rd Native American blood coursing through my veins.Happy New Year to You all!
Hi Jeff and Sarah thank you for sharing a wonderful history lesson of the Texas state capital. That is a amazing building and that was neat that your son got to speak with the speaker of the house blessings to you and your family Larry June and Laurie
I have spent many hours watching your videos on Texas and elsewhere. You are a thorough researcher, and I cannot imagine how much time you spend on such as each grave site. I am a member of Ancestry for 15 years, and know how much time this might take. I also like the way your videos are arranged in time order, starting with the latest.
Another great way to end an evening. Thank you for bringing out the history. The monuments are beautiful. I hope nothing happens to the confederate monument that is history of our great nation and the state of Texas. And yes I agree with you the railing does not look high enough in the rotunda.
Thank you, Jeff, for the video of our great Capitol. I was lucky enough to get to go all the way up the dome and yes it was scary. especially when you look down.
Glad you talked about Marble Falls. I used to live there. However the inside of the building is made of limestone from Oak Hill. Rather than pay the going rate of 17 cents an hour, the state could lease prisoners out to contractors and pay them nothing. Legend has it that up to eight convicts died, either because of poor conditions or because they were shot during escape attempts. They were buried on the hill. Which is now named Convict Hill.
Hi Sarah and Jeff, awesome video you did on this one. Excellent footage of showing us around there. Capital is bigger than I could ever imagine. But I am not good on heights. Like you said I get vertigo in fact I do suffer with it. But the capital is beautiful. Thankyou again for the time and effort that you put in to let us go with you, I enjoy you so much, take care and God bless 💯👍♥️🙋
Great video, Jeff. My wife and I visited the Texas capitol last year, and we're amazed by the size and beauty of the building. I was a bit uncomfortable looking downward from the dome, also, but what a view.
Thank you, Jeff. The Texas State Capitol is beautiful. I lived in Austin as a small boy. Dad was in military and we moved around often. Happy New Year to you and Sarah!
Wow! That state capital is huge! I have been in California capital, Arkansas capital and Mississippi capital. I and from Louisiana now and have not been to the capital here yet. I liked the train whistle when you showed the picture of the train bringing rock for the building. Interesting fact about the origin of the Six Flags.
Well Jeff ,,, you put out another good video my friend ! Can't wait to see your next video in a week from now... THANK you for the hard work Frank from montana.......
Thank you, Jeff (and your son, also, for acting as guide)...It's good to see the Texas Capitol again (my home state...born a good ways northwest of Austin, long ago). ....Welcome to Texas !!! You've been doing really good work there, in your last few vids. Thank you, from all of us.
Jeff, this was very informative, and interesting. That Capitol is one impressive building. WOW... The history behind "Six Flags" was new to me. See, we can always learn something from our children.🤠😉Thank you, for the research and legwork you undertake. We appreciate it.👏👏🤗y
Makes you Proud to be a Texan.
All Texans should be proud…Great building.
We are proud! And right now we have a fantastic Governor!
@@whitedovetail 👏
I spent 14 years in Austin Texas. I loved being a delivery person downtown seeing all the people and buildings. I really miss it.
Proud of my state!
What a magnificent Capitol!
That pink granite is beautiful.
I confess that I was awed when I stood on the mezzanine and looked up at the dome. Then awed again when I looked down at the six flags.

Very cool! I had a great time in Austin. Such a beautiful city, but also a very large city. I don’t think I was expecting it to be that sprawled out.
Definitely a magnificent structure.
Thanks Jeff! I love Texas!
Another wonderful episode! Caught it as soon as I was notified.
All the best for the coming year.
Happy new year!
Gr8 Job Jeff and Sarah.
Texas is unique in it's many historic structures and the way they are identifying and preserving them.
They are worth preserving! So much history is being destroyed every year and it’s sad. Appreciate your comments, as always, Elwood!
Thank you for taking us along
Our pleasure!!
Thanks Jeff and son for another great video. I especially enjoyed your impression of George W. Bush.
Awesome content!!! We LOVE Texas! Had to laugh when your son co-opted your video! That was a great history lesson (you’ve obviously had some influence there😉). Always enjoy Sundays watching! Your biggest Tennessee (formerly California) fans!
It’s so refreshing to watch these videos of your’s that highlight the history of this Great Nation instead of seeing people tear it apart.
I am a proud American, and I think we have a wonderful history. Not a perfect history, but great nations are born out of trials and tests.
I agree. This is one of the things that attracted me to History Hunters.
This native Texas lady appreciates your video very much! ❤
Very nice! Thanks, Cathy! My stepmother is named Kathy but she spells it with a K. Blessings!
Happy Sunday Jeff! Great episode! I too Caught it as soon as I was notified. All the best for the coming year to you and yours.

As great as ever is your fabulous family show.
Thank you for taking us along with you to the Texas State Capital!!!!! It was the only way that I would have been able to see it!!!
Thankyou Jeff for taking us to a place we may never get to see in person. You gave us a taste of its grandeur!
Another good one, Jeff. And thanks to your "last" son for explaining SIX FLAGS.
Thank you for the excellent narrative Tour. I'm a native Texan born 1961 and yet to visit my state Capital. I've only visited the Battlefields to win our Independence. I will before my lifetime ends "Thank You" again from Carlos Almendarez Corpus Christi, Tx

Very good coverage of our State Capitol. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Been there several times and have been fortunate enough to tour the U.S. Capitol as well.

Wow! Quite the building! Thank You for another interesting video
Welcome to Texas !
Glad you talked about Marble Falls. I used to live there. However the inside of the building is made of limestone from Oak Hill.

Definitely done on the grand scale beautiful buildings and grounds.
Thanks Jeff and Jeff's youngest son.

I grew up in Texas and spent lots of time at the 6 flags amusement park. Awesome state!
Very cool!
Thanks for the tour at the Texas State Capital.surprised there a Southern monument. Thanks for sharing Jeff .
I'm surprised it hasn't been torn down! But then again, don't mess with Texas!
Thank you, Jeff (and your son, also, for acting as guide)...It's good to see the Texas Capitol again (my home state...born a good ways northwest of Austin, long ago). ....Welcome to Texas !!! You've been doing really good work there, in your last few vids. Thank you, from all of us.

An interesting and informative history lesson, thank you! (The music you inserted at the end was a nice touch.)
Nice George W. impersonation. 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Ha ha ha! Thanks. That’s one of my quirky impersonations!
Another great video!
