Texian Market Days

In October 2014, I took a short jaunt down to enjoy the Texian Market Days at the George Ranch Historical Park where I got to see history come alive. On the property, there were four different historical homes to tour:

1830s Jones Stock Farm

In Oct 2014, I got to see history come alive at the Texian Market Days. These are the pictures from the 1830s Jones Stock Farm. It’s a dog-run cabin with a kitchen area on the left half, a breezeway in the middle, a family area on the right half, and a loft where the family slept. There were shuttered windows in the loft on each side of the chimneys. A porch ran the length of both sides of the cabin. I loved the rugged simplicity of this house. Pictures also include a tour of the cabin, plus demonstrations on the grounds.
