Couple who unknowingly bought ex-slave plantation learn about mansion’s past, history of slaves ...

A retired military couple, Keith and Robin Muschalek bought a dilapidated Wilson County home in 2015. They soon found out the property was a slave plantation, and are now trying to learn more about the enslaved people who lived and worked there. The other unanswered question revolves around their emancipation: Where did they go?

[@RealizeRealeyz]

You can’t tell me they didn’t know that was a plantation house. It looks like a slave master house. I’m from Maryland and can spot a plantation house when I see one up here.

[@JudeWayne]

You have a wonderful skill that the owners didn't. We all learn at different rates.

[@mrs.childers8333]

I can also spot one up north, but down south it is very hard to tell. Everything was built with the same architectural styles. There are also so many replicas that are nothing other than that Most of the real plantations and antebellums were built to last centuries. So a dilapidated property like this is almost always a replica

[@soufwesthoustontx]

The house looks like a plantation home.

[@texasgina]

Beautiful house. I bet there's a lot of old artifacts underneath the dirt around the property

[@soufwesthoustontx]

@texasgina Probably bodies too.

[@F3AR4LIFE]

Oh ye

[@sayitloudblcknproud]

Probably plenty of bones of men, women, and children.

[@cathypound3719]

Wow . What a beautiful old house . Thank you for saving her. Would love to come see it

[@bigtex4058]

So cool that they saved this place.

[@Kabeyavictoria]

These mfs knew

[@sayitloudblcknproud]

That house and land should be given to descendants of the slaves who lived and died there.

[@MexAme]

What kind of dance hall looks like a house?

[@BBFLYRISEN]

None. They lying. They knew exactly what it was. Even if the marker didn’t mention the plantation, it didn’t mention no dance hall either. And look how excited the wife is talking about it.

[@deborahbaker4770]

I love old house’s they have more character then modern house’s I have always wanted to fix up a old house and live in it but it didn’t happen for me 🙁 they did a awesome job on this house 👍🏻 my other love is antique’s I guess anything way older then me is what I really love and I’m 65 😊

[@johnhmielewski1230]

The house and property didn't do anything during slavery it's a beautiful place and it should be preserved.

[@tommas2674]

bet the road took the slaves graves, plantation owners buried them too on the property and often long after their relatives.

[@tommas2674]

the design of the house with the door to door front to back was for optimal cooling. ? Greecian style" i think.

[@Shefightsproductionz]

????

[@sodamncutestud2]

The house didn’t. But lots of souls there who have been murdered. Bodies have been through a lot. I’m sure that land and that home is possessed. You need to learn some respect. Would you say that about Nazi camps ?

[@user-chariot]

How can you rest there.

[@charrysew9743]

My thoughts exactly!!

[@00700556]

like you rest at any other house lol

[@Kabeyavictoria]

You rest there when you don't have a soul

[@urpapi4206]

They're white duh !

[@alexnious705]

This is wild to see my last name on here

[@sayitloudblcknproud]

I can tell straight away this was a slave plantation.

[@Shefightsproductionz]

Great Contribution. Not everyone is as transparent. May they live long

[@MJones-yb7zv]

bye racist

[@gwapog5739]

Ain’t no way in hell I’d stay in a place like this those spirits probably are put to rest you never know

[@sburris65]

What an incredibly beautiful home. Im so glad they saved it. But had this been one of the plantations owed by a black family, it would have never been mentioned.

[@cathypound3719]

How do you know ? This couple found this place and wanted to restore it . Don't think they were worried about the skin color of past owners .

[@soufwesthoustontx]

@cathypound3719 They focused more on the previous owners and only a sliver at the end on a family descendants of one of the documented slaves.

[@sayitloudblcknproud]

There were so few large plantations owned by Black families. Black slaves were owned by wealthy White Southerners 99.9% of the time. Any Black owners bought friends and family and never beat, raped or maimed them.

[@MichaelValouch-pb3ss]

To the owners: it can still be haunted, so keep your eyes and ears open.

[@frankizzy11]

Sad

[@sadjaxx]

This couple did a remarkable renovation!

[@jasflowersinmayyoutube2792]

They mark it as historical and now bread for the family forever

[@KristineMarieTxSPI]

It's beautiful.

[@JuarezDerrick]

So are you

[@beverlycromwell9805]

they knew it was a plantation i would know iam black american

[@puddlespickles8810]

Gorgeous home,

[@deborahmccall5617]

I don't think an tornato would blow that foundation from its roots, so lets put another cherry ontop sit back and feel the crossbreeze ( during the day)

[@BBFLYRISEN]

“Our contribution to the history of the great state of texas.” 🤔. Why not to the memory of those without voices who were enslaved here so they are not forgotten.👀

[@Lazaruseffxt]

Why did she say negroes why didn’t she just say n word. She seems to like the house to much she’s like super interested in what happened in the house almost like she likes the history of the house
