Teresa was a WONDERFUL tour guid and even let us see all of the bathrooms and even the back patio area.

I got my very own docent led tour of the house, built in the early 1900s. Very interesting, and awesome that most items in the house are actually the originals. It is a smaller house, so did not take all that long to get through it. Definitely worth the stop if you're into history at all!

Constructed from locally quarried stone, it includes a main house, two bunkhouses, two outhouses, and a stable (later used as a garage). A notable feature is its fireplace, originally decorated with Oklahoma's rose rocks, though many have been removed due to vandalism. The castle's eerie ambiance has fueled local ghost stories. For the best visit, go mid-week or off-season to avoid crowds and wear sturdy shoes for the steep terrain. There is a 15 dollar summer admission fee and 5 dollar winter fee. Children under 5 are free.

It is bordered to the north by Montague County which is adjacent to Oklahoma. So we're pretty far north in East Texas. Wise County was founded in 1856 and is named after Virginia Congressman Henry A. Wise, who has supported annexation of Texas by the United States. He was elected governor of Virginia in 1856. J. Riely Gordon's design of the Wise County Courthouse was similar but not identical to his design for the Ellis County Courthouse https://www.yelp.com/biz/ellis-county-courthouse-waxahachie?hrid=eBGUKM-BrvGmolUsyqKK0w. It was built in 1896 and illustrates Romanesque Revival characteristics that are found in a number of Gordon's Texas courthouses. This includes the use of turrets, a tower, segmented massing and fine ashlar masonry of contrasting textures and hues. The central tower, with its projecting balconies, setbacks and dormers, crowns the building. Particularly distinctive is the fine masonry work throughout the structure. The exterior walls are of rusticated pink granite, while the main columns are of polished pink granite. Unfortunately, the building was closed for the night when I was here at 5:30pm on Saturday. I'd have liked to see the inside. [Review 16105 overall - 285 in Texas - 1610 of 2021.]

With the North Texas…read moresprawl running amuck this old bridge that use to serve the T&HC railroad as far back as 1872! You'd think by now a Starbucks would of sprang up where it now sits but there it is. Standing like a big F you to all that clammering over growth. It's a bit snaky and don't go two steppin across blindfolded or you'll def fall through the rotted ties. But ain't it grand to imagine those billowing iron horses rumbling across it?!?!!!! It's freaking beautiful no matter what condition it's in. Time forgotten time piece. If you go there notice the bridge line closer to the 75 service road. That line was the Texas Electric Railway. It was built AFTER the bigger bridge and it went out of service around 1948. Dart bought the line just to the south.
