Great video. Thank you. My mother grew up at the Woodmen Circle Home. She had a lovely childhood there. Missy, the lady who ran the home, was loved by my mom. Linda Robertson was also a friend of my mom’s.
My Mother and my two Uncles lived at the home. They adored Mrs. Tally and the home. They must have thrived because they all graduated from college and had nice lives. Thank you for a wonderful video, and thank you Woodmen’s Circle for caring for three lonely children.
This makes me wish I had the money to renovate the old place. Seeing so many once nice buildings in ruins or being torn down has always been a bit painful to see.
I literally live next door to this Woodmen Home. Been living here 8 years now and have seen a lot of people go in there exploring the place. (My wife and I explored too when we first moved in 8 years ago. Really neat inside!)
I just love it that you have an original person that spent time at the place. When I visit my brother next in Texas I'm going to see if we can find her and have her give us the tour and discussing her experiences.
Really awesome video!! I am from Dallas and enjoyed learning some history about a nearby place that I didn't even know existed! Your format with the explorative photos of the site + the interview footage was phenomenal!! So often when watching these videos, there seems to be no one around who can speak to the history of the place, and we are left with many questions. Seriously good work; a step above anything else I've seen...Bravo...def gonna sub...look forward to more content from you... :)
When working trouble tickets at the apartment complex just to the north of the property we always tried to get in and out before dark. There was an eight-foot fence between the Home and the apartment complex. At sundown or after, you would see people in the windows, hear noises, and see lights moving inside the building. You did your business and got the hell out after dark.
Great video that showcases this hidden gem! I love that it incorporates an interview and music track that fits the video. This is the first abandonment/urbex video I've seen with this style...I hope you produce more!
All they did was take our names and told us to never come back or we’ll be arrested. It’s probably as close as I ever came to being in trouble with the law. 😂
Went to Austin College and always wondered about this property. Appreciate this depiction of what had to have been a grand home!

I was about to say that the house is haunted ,but she said that this one it wasn´t haunted . The old lady sounds like a nice person . Pretty cool this video .
Ask the people that go hunting in it at night since the 90s, the properties around it are ridden with trauma a lot of souls have cams and gone through this place over time with a lot of bad energy and toxic vibes went into its history. Maybe not when she worked there but since it’s been abandoned there’s been a lot of crazy stories.
I just happened upon this place today searching the area for abandoned railroads and bridges. Perhaps I'll get out there one day before it's gone. Such a beautiful film. Great work!
This is so sad. My family has been in Grayson county for roughly 100 years. To see such a beauty defaced and falling down is bad enough but the rumors will only keep it going.
I grew up on a farm just west of here. It had a water tower on it with the words Jesus Saves on the side of it. The two somehow seemed to go together..I walked past this place all the time when i was kid too..I even had a desk my mom bought for me from a sale they had here in the early 70's.
Wow, I always wondered what had happened with Woodmen's Circle even after passing it up from time to time when I would visit my relatives. I'm from Sherman and my biggest memory was when they had turned it into a haunted attraction during Halloween (back in the 1980s) I was in either 3rd or 4th grade (Wakefield Elem) at the time. I had gone with my Aunt and some of her friends and I just remember being so scared so I stayed outside. Then we ended up going around to the side of the house which was more scary and I just remember hearing a chainsaw and everybody took off running back toward the front...lol I laugh about it now because I'm way older. Kinda hate that they could not preserve or restore the building. There was so much history there. Thank you Andy for making this video!
TH-cam isn't the place to ask. You should drive to Sherman and do a little detective work. When you're there, you can present your credentials and purpose.
Keeper of the Second [Urban Exploring] in my life i always see who already pass Is this house remains someone spirit I would see it the first day this is what happen to me when ever I go to some where new
Found my way into this place last Sunday morning at dusk and man it’s quite beautiful in the gloomy weather. I did get a sense of heaviness in the air and the only noise I heard came from a goose that had flown in from a part of the ceiling that was deteriorating.
@@TrevorKombat I've got stories that would blow your mind, I can see them sometimes, not this place but houses I have lived in and other places, usually I just see orbs around me protection from something.
@@TrevorKombat someone called me a seer, but I need to learn how to advance I seem to be loosing my ability, I know of a few places houses, and they are lived in, I just don't want to ask they will think I'm crazy.
I'm so excited to see Linda again. How many I get hold of her? I meet her through the Police Dept because I was always racing my cars. We became close friends till I moved away in the 90s. She took several of my friends to the home when I worked for Melrose Tappan. . She was so much fun to talk too.
It's sad to see such a grand building going to ruin. If there are any ghosts then they are there because it was a happy place to them when they was alive.
I would totally sign a waver to get some pictures of this place maybe as a person who is passionate about the history of modern civilizations I would love to document it with pictures and video
I think it’s a waste of space I pass it almost every day going into town. If I could afford buying this place I would develop it with apartments that people could afford. And maybe an open market. We used to sneak into the place when I was a kid, never heard any strange noises other than wild animals scratching around.
very cool video, its nice to know more of the history. ive filmed there and it was amazing. but the poison ivy was something else. if you ever want to explore somewhere andy, just let me know
Great short documentary.. "Wealthy women would turned their entire wealth over to the Supreme Forest Woodmen Circle" WOW!!!! Sounds very lucrative for that group.....
Andy Henderson! Absolutely what i want in a video. Great angles and captures. We often thought about doing interviews with people about the places we go into. My team and I saw this and we had to subscribe. Check our channel and subscribe. Check it out and please help us with our angles and what not.Good luck and keep them coming!
I come from a long line of brick manufactures in my family and I think that brick came from The Texas Brick Co. in Brownwood Tx. My Grandfather purchased it in 1974 and my father ran it till 1982.
I remember it was set up as a haunted house (maybe sponsored by the Jaycee's?) one Halloween years ago. I went out there, but was too scared to go inside. That was several years after the cult had left.
As of 5-9-22 only a few walls of the far west building are still standing. Everything else has been demolished. I expect the last of the final building to be down by the end of the week.

My granddaughter and I are just fascinated by the place. Every time she visits we drive by and talk about it. Really enjoyed hearing about it! Thanks!
I love this place. I pass it every day. I would love to see someone buy it and renovate it. It was beautiful. And can be again.
I’ve heard the reason it can’t be restored is because it’s a historical home and has to be restored exactly like it was.
It’s too far gone to be restored. It would cost millions. It’s not like President George Washington lived there.
Love this building got to go in when I was younger horrible to see how others just destroyed the amazing building
Pass by this every time I drive through Sherman . Always wondered about this place . Such a shame it’s deteriorated so bad .
This was really good. I’m from the North Texas area and didn’t know about this place. This video was as good as any historical piece I’ve seen on TV.
What an angel for sharing a living memory.
I literally live next door to this Woodmen Home. Been living here 8 years now and have seen a lot of people go in there exploring the place. (My wife and I explored too when we first moved in 8 years ago. Really neat inside!)
i wanna check it out and do some photography, even though sherman is a bit far since im in dallas, do you know the address or street that its on?
@@pspgamerserjio 301 N. Heritage Pkwy. is the address of the apartment complex next to it.
@@ElitePainting_EpoxyCoatings do you know if its legal to go inside?
@@pspgamerserjio No. If you're caught inside you'll be given a trespassing citation. (But people still go inside all the time)
What a great video! Excellent videography and documentation.
I just love it that you have an original person that spent time at the place. When I visit my brother next in Texas I'm going to see if we can find her and have her give us the tour and discussing her experiences.
i go here everyday, and every night. cause it’s just an amazing place to go in. i would always sit down and watch the sunset and the sunrise .
Do you live nearby?
Nice quality video, editing, organized interview- great job and thank you for sharing the story!

I live in Sherman and I’ve always been afraid of that place it’s looks to creepy
Jack Johnson me too
I will never forget this building. The first time I was there was about 20 years ago, it is creepy and has a bad vibe.
I live in sherman too
Me too

I remember getting caught trespassing on the property when I was sixteen years old.
Did you get into legal trouble or did the owner let you go?
What happened after you got caught? Who caught you?
The neighbors call the police every time. I live right behind this building.
All they did was take our names and told us to never come back or we’ll be arrested. It’s probably as close as I ever came to being in trouble with the law. 😂

@@greenthumbz6081 What kind of stories?
Being from Whitesboro Texas and having to drive to Sherman on Highway 56 this brings back some serious memories
I just happened upon this place today searching the area for abandoned railroads and bridges. Perhaps I'll get out there one day before it's gone. Such a beautiful film. Great work!
*My grandma, i 💖 you. ;(*
In the 1930s, my Dad became a member of Wodmen of the World (WOW) Slaton Texas chapter.
Would have been awesome if they could have incorporated some old pictures of how it once looked!
This is so sad. My family has been in Grayson county for roughly
100 years. To see such a beauty defaced and falling down is bad enough but the rumors will only keep it going.
What a nice lady and a great place.
Thank you for making this!
Wow, beautiful video on this abandoned building, gives some history on it where you might not find.
Great video and very interesting thanks for sharing
This is beautiful history i did not know about!
Im from sherman and i lived in the appartments behing this place its realy a beautiful house in person its huge af
Cass Miller I had a buddy that lived there and I swear it’s haunted.
I grew up on a farm just west of here. It had a water tower on it with the words Jesus Saves on the side of it. The two somehow seemed to go together..I walked past this place all the time when i was kid too..I even had a desk my mom bought for me from a sale they had here in the early 70's.

Was working in that area yesterday and its standing tall! Near 56 Houston rd and 1417

When I was a teen in the 80's we used to party out there all the time and ghost hunt.
Hmmmm sounds like a great idea🤘🏾 #makeamericagrungeagain
@@kelyjavette your awesome
When the cult lived in it, it was a little spooky because you could hear them chanting from the street.
Whatttttttt
There was a cult??!!!
Got to love rumors.
@@micheler1077 she said there was a cult in the video, bud.
My parents and I would drive by this place everyday on our way to town. I always thought it looked so cool
I grew up mostly in Sherman and I remember that place but I don't think I ever went in there.
Such a shame. With proper upkeep, buildings will last a very long time. The grade school I went to was built in 1912 and is still a school.
I definitely did not come explore this with my friend. If we did we would be respectful
Great story thanks for posting
Is there anyway we could get into contact with the owner. My team and I would love to explore and record the history that is left behind
TH-cam isn't the place to ask. You should drive to Sherman and do a little detective work. When you're there, you can present your credentials and purpose.
Keeper OF the Second hey I’ve been here, it’s such a scary place to be, but awesome for my photography!
Might be a little difficult to officially get in, the top floor is blocked off because it started to cave in
A little late, but the current owners are David & Debbie McNees. You can get in contact with them through their law firm. David McNees Law Offices.
Keeper of the Second [Urban Exploring] in my life i always see who already pass
Is this house remains someone spirit I would see it the first day this is what happen to me when ever I go to some where new

Would love to metal detect the yard to see if we could find some History.
Reminds me of the x men manor. Thank you for sharing 🤘
I would like to go medal detecting out there...
Bro I’m from sherman and snuck in there many times all I gotta say is fuck that
this place is huge, wonder if kids from the apartments next door explore this place
Cool video.
Yo this is an amazing video! I am an explorer and I might just have to visit! Thanks for this vid!
I grew up in Travis St Apts and I was scared to death of this place
It's sad to see such a grand building going to ruin. If there are any ghosts then they are there because it was a happy place to them when they was alive.
I live in Colbert OK. I heard the property was sold in 2018 and they was going to build a factory on it .
Well it's remains the same
I just passed by this place
There's a apartment beside that place called heritage hill and I live there
That place gives me the creeps when I pass by it
I would love to explore this place how can I get in contact with someone to do so? there is no longer a website
I would totally sign a waver to get some pictures of this place maybe as a person who is passionate about the history of modern civilizations I would love to document it with pictures and video

Well there sadly tearing it down 😔
What a shame. This should have been saved and repurposed.
It’s 2023, and it was demolished this year 😢
I live in sherman Texas,and i’ve had seen that home and i’ve ever wonder “What is that”
I've drove by this place.
I heard it was an abandoned poor/house/-work/house, basically, a prison where the poor were condemned to live for BEING poor.
Beats being homeless and hungry.
@@kristinaclark764 Not if they are treating you with contempt for being there.
is this for sale or what is the plan for this property ?
I hate to see things rot away, restore it or tear it down, each day it sits it gets more expensive to fix....
Sometimes individuals don’t hear or see anything when the next to them does....
I drove past this building every week going to the vilais of parkhaven apartment

SunShine hwy 1417 & 56
When I was a boy, I would be punished for cussing. My daddy said to not say "Hell." So we would say "When in Sherman did I leave my shoes?!"

When I sawed this in real life I told my dad why the place is broken and he said there was ghosts
It's sad that it had to be torn down, could've been turned into something else.
Thats the music Brian the bootmaker uses.🙄
I thought I recognized it. Hello fellow fans!
Explain the little girl who was sacrificed in the bathtub
My bro went in there and brought me back a piece of the wall paper. He said it was kinda creepy.
I had a dream where my dad dropped me off there and the ppl were supposed to babysit me but they didn’t let me in cuz they were playing Pirates
Lizzie Sanders why are u on all of these videos
This place is gutted.

It was demolished in 2022.
It’s funny i pass that building in the car to go to my memes house:)
That woman died 65 years ago. That was her apparition speaking.
A little rude.
Saw on the news it’s to be torn down.
I think my ken folk owned it or maybe another place like it, my mom's cousin.
I JUST SAW IT FROM THE FREEWAY WE JUST MOVED IT'S BONKERS.
