Allen/Terrell Farm, TX

In the 1820s a second batch of colonists sent by Stephen F. Austin settled the area that would become Allen Farm, TX. The town functioned for about 200 years before declining in population. After that Texas A & M alumni Will Terrell purchased the property and is working to preserve the original buildings. This is private property and permission is needed to come out and walk around and take pictures. I wish to thank Mr. Terrell and the City of Navasota for affording me this chance to visit a ghost town. Not many people have been out here and I'm grateful for the experience. I got to walk back in time to an extent. I found some remainders of the original inhabitants. In the restored train depot one will find scrap books of photographs from decades gone. One will also find signatures on the back wall from people who worked there and are long gone.
