Broadway musical icon, Mary Martin, was a Weatherford product, so was her son, television actor, Larry Hagman, who spent his boyhood there with his father. (Ms. Martin debuted the lead female roles in "South Pacific,," "The Sound of Music," "Oklahoma," and a host of other musicals. Larry Hagman played in multiple television shows, but was most well known as "J.R. Ewing" in "Dallas.") Late in her life, a newspaper reporter asked Ms. Martin what it was like to have a son who'd become an icon. Ms. Martin smiled sweetly and replied, "Young man, I am an icon. My son is a star."
For anyone who is not familiar with this couple they are totally authentic, not pretentious at all. They are the sweetest couple, and I follow them on their other channel, and I will start following them on this channel. Their appreciation for older, authentic items, buildings, and even new stuff is really awesome. Please follow them if you like this kind of stuff. Living the channel❤❤

I am a grandma now, but lived in Weatherford in 1976 and my first son was born there, my husband joined the Navy, we moved to San Diego, Ca. Now I am back living in South Texas. I hope to visit Weatherford again. Thanks for the video, brought back some beautiful memories.
Wow that was the biggest orphanage that the ever seen! My daddy when he was a little boy till he was a teenager was raised in an orphanage in North Carolina. That’s where I’m from but now live in Kentucky.. My daddy to have lived in one he learned so much about the Bible and so much more, in fact his Orphanage Mother wanted to adopt him and my Aunt.. My grandma came too get them before that could of happened! I did get the honor of seeing the orphanage and meeting his orphanage Mother when I was a little girl. The orphanage is still there. That was in the 50’s when my Daddy was there... Tell ya they instilled a lot of good wholesome values in him. He could have turned out on the bad side of things but he didn’t because he wanted more for his life and he wanted a wife and family and he got just that and more. He was truly happy to see his orphanage Mother so that he could tell her what he made of himself... He was Art Director of two different movie 🎥 companies and he was very successful at what he got too do for a living and that was a dream come true, and I’m so happy he got too do what his true passion was and that was Art of any and everything!!!
Weatherford's population this year is approaching 40,500. There are alot of developments going up. Cosco is coming. LOTS of traffic. It's growing rapidly. Not so small anymore.
I grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas, so I'm really enjoying these videos. Brings back lots of great memories traveling through these towns in my younger days. Especially going to Possom Kingdom lake in the summer. I've lived in Georgia for the past 30 years but still consider myself a Texan at heart ❤️ Thanks guys! Great stuff 😊
@@sparksamericana I am also enjoying this series as I love history. I live in a city in the UK which was mostly built by the Romans. Btw are you anywhere near Spring in Houston as my son and family are there.
I loved the murals and quaintness of the town! Funny mural story to share. In Jonesboro, Arkansas there’s an old mural on a building downtown for Bull Durham tobacco. When the mural was uncovered and restored locals decided to add a fence so a rail would cover the bull’s 😮😂 private parts which were visibly painted in the original mural. 😂
Absolutely loving y'alls new channel, as well!! So enjoyed seeing Weatherford thru your video. What fun! A lady bought my 2 horses that I adored and they are somewhere in Weatherford enjoying a lot of beautiful land to graze on :)
Thank you so much for watching! We learned that Weatherford is the "Cutting Horse Capital of the World", so it sounds like your horses are in good hands out there ❤ So glad you enjoyed this video!
I am absolutely loving these travel adventures you are taking us on! And when you share the history of where you are and specific sites you are visiting. Sooo awesome!! Thanks you two!
Thanks for taking me with you on your tour. My daughter takes me on tours of our town since I didn't grow up here, but she did. She knows all the out of the way spots. Little towns are starting to come back.😊 Thanks for sharing!
I fell in love for the first time in Weatherford Tx. . I was only 15. My Dad was a resaler, we set up at the flea market they have there the 1st weekend of the month, it’s one of the largest in Tx. We were their every month April thur October. He went off to job corp and I never heard from him again.
The historic homes are in town on Oak Street, Alamo Street and others in that area. The oldest part of town is North of the courthouse. We toured Pythian at Christmas open house. They do amazing work there.
I’m loving your new channel! 🥰 You’ll have to cross ‘The Pond’ one day and come to visit England. Here you’ll see some really ancient castles, Royal Palaces and stately homes. Xx
Thank you! And that would be awesome. We've been to London a couple times, but only for one night layovers. So we would definitely like to experience England "for real" someday!
Howdy y'all. I have enjoyed your videos for a few years now. I would be happy to buy some broken colored glass when y'all come across it. I do glass art and could use it. 🤠
Absolutely loved going cruising with you both. I am really into architecture and it’s awesome to see the old houses and buildings. I would really love to see Texas one day but until that day I will continue to watch and be awe inspired. Sending much love from Sydney ps love to sweet baby Bones🐾🐾🐾♥️♥️♥️♥️🐨🖤
I'm catching up on your videos because some how I was unsubscribed...all is good now! 😊 My aunt used to live in Weatherford 40+ years ago, but I never got to visit her there. Beautiful town! Thanks for taking us there. Its a little bit of history that has cured my curiosity. ❤
Y’all make great tour guides. Really enjoyed it. Love to watch your adventures whether diving or touring. Lots of fun. Hope Bones is enjoying it as well. 😂
Y'all have come a long way since that first video! Love watching all your content! Just wish you'd done more back in the day because those were fun to watch. Keep up the good work! 💜
There used to be a huge farmers market in Weatherford, if we were driving to Ranger or somewhere we always stopped there and my dad would pick out a yellow meated watermelon, and lots of veggies, everything was fresh off the farm.
Now I'm gonna have to go check out Weatherford .LoL. I've lived here all my life and never checked it out. Been thru it lots of time. Love the videos, keep them coming. Just be safe.
Hey, thanks for coming to Weatherford. You went places I haven’t even seen. Love Whistle Hill Restaurant. We do have some nice antique stores on N. main and York Street. Y’all come back.
Y’all should go to Waxahachie! They have tons of Victoria/Gingerbread houses! And a beautiful courthouse and at Getzendaner Park a historic Chautauqua Auditorium. Y’all would love ❤️ it! Scarborough Faire too! I grew up there. Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️
Thank you for taking us along on your adventure to Weatherford, Texas!!! It's neat seeing an old town and all its charm. I loved the historical homes, and that orphanage was massive! Will you be going back for peaches in July?
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed coming along! We might as well go back in July... it's not too far and now we ~need~ to try a peach from the Peach Capital of Texas!!
I would so love to drive around on road trips like you and Alex. I don't think sitting for a long time would be great for my rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis though.
Oh my God I love old homes I want to know who lived there I want to know who died there and I want to know who's still running around in there plus I love all their quirky little details the gingerbread details the crazy little roof lines oh my God I just love them
That is a beautiful town. Antique stores in little towns are my favorite places. We have a little place in my town ( pop. 1400 ) that sells antique things and some new stuff. I got a Early American end table, just like the one I had growing up for 13.00 tax included. I was so happy lol. I love the murals there. Thank y'all for taking us there.☺
I enjoy your dumpster diving channel. So far I also really like this channel. I know there are plenty of interesting small towns throughout Texas. Just here in North Texas alone there are plenty! But I hope that sometime you will branch out into other parts of Texas. I've done just a little research into some Texas towns for various historic purposes and I've always found such great stories about them - how they got their name, why they were founded, and all sorts of events. I'll tease you with some questions just about Ft. Worth (which I know of course is not a small town): Why is it called nicknamed Panther City? What gallant gesture did the soldiers perform for the local young ladies at a dance held when it really was an Army fort? How did Fort Worth become the rail head for shipping cattle instead of Dallas? And I am sure that every place in Texas has its own interesting stories! I enjoyed your trip to Weatherford. I hope you will got back to get peaches in July!
Great tour of Weatherford the orphanage is huge! I hope they are taking care of the children. I wonder if they would let you tour inside the building? That would be cool. Have a wonderful upcoming weekend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
I've gone through Weatherford all of my life (60 years) to get to family members in East Texas. My family and I have stopped at the Farmer's Market many times and have never been disappointed. Thank you for the tips on the pickles and when the peaches will be at the market. I hope to make a trip there this summer. Summer of 2024. Thank you for the video!! Also, is the White Elephant Elephant Cafe still there?
