You forgot to pay respects to Joesph Arrington aka "JOE TEX" famous R&B singer....he owned a ranch outside Navasota city limits...he is buried in a cemetery off Hwy 105 1/4 mile from TX 6.....One of his big hits was "Ain't Gonna Dance With No Big Fat Woman".....he stated Navasota was his hometown....by the way he had an intense rivalry with James Brown...he stated Brown had stole his act and dance moves in the late 50s....he also claimed Brown had slept with his wife....

Thank you for taking the time to chronicle these Small Towns in Texas.

[@ThisSmallTown]

Thanks for watching.

[@lrb3989]

Glad that you continued to do these vids since now you are a big time dental hygienist I love your vids

[@ThisSmallTown]

LOL thanks. 😂😂😂

[@1954shadow]

That post office is an architectural gem.

[@BigK_ThirdCoastReds]

Nice job my dude.! It has been many, many years since I've been through that town. It's good to see some of the old landmarks. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@ThisSmallTown]

Thanks for watching!

[@DakotaTom-de2md]

Go out towards Anderson & u ll see Chuck Norrises ranch on left. Lone Wolf ranch

[@ThisSmallTown]

Went to Anderson after I left Navasota actually.

[@benwheeler6736]

Texas country music artist Lyle Lovett has a place close to Chuck Norris as well. His gates have a big LL on it.

[@xopherzenitram]

As a city boy who was raised in Houston, I find your fascination with small town Texas contagious. Thanks for helping this Texan rediscover places I haven't seen in years!

[@ThisSmallTown]

I really appreciate it, thank you.

[@tommysaulter9171]

I’ve never known a lot about Navasota, except it was a town I passed through, on my way to Washington On The Brazos. I’m teaching my granddaughter Texas History, not by book study, but by actually visiting sites within Texas of historical relevance. So far, we’ve made San Antonio, San Jaciento, Washington on the Brazos, and Goliad… I rely on Texas Parks & Wildlife personnel to supply details not divulged in Texas History textbooks. My granddaughter seems to be more receptive to experiencing the actual locations as opposed to just reading about them in a book…!!!

[@ThisSmallTown]

I totally agree with the way you're doing it Tommy and I know she'll never forget the adventures that you're taking her on! Y'all should go check out Columbus.

[@robertintexas]

Nice video, my man. Been to Navasota a few times, actually bought a couple of cars there in the day. Didn't realize the history.

[@ThisSmallTown]

Yeah news to me too!

[@cherylmeri5143]

Hamer caught (ended) Bonnie & Clyde! Wow. Pause and read what he did! Life was tougher back then...shot 14 times!

[@ThisSmallTown]

14 times is wild. 😂 Also, I'm glad you was able to pause it to read the entire placard. Somebody suggested that I started doing that ( pause on the plaque so you can pause and read it) so I'm glad it's working.

[@benwheeler6736]

His name is Frank Hamer not Hammer. He was a retired Texas Ranger when they got him to track down and stop Bonnie and Clyde. He is a legend of a law man.

[@GoofyFlan]

WhOO! We 🎼🎵On the road again🎶🎹 Great job and HaPpY New Year!

[@ThisSmallTown]

😂😂😂

[@rkmatt8761]

I live in west Texas and have heard of Navasota but never been to it through it or seen any videos of the town till now. Thanks for bringing us here. Very interesting town. Stay safe stay healthy

[@ThisSmallTown]

Thanks Matt, you as well! 😎

[@robocop8289]

Thank you for another great video! Treasury Secretary William MacAdoo's last name is pronounced Mack-A-Dooo And as for Poncho AKA Texas Ranger Captain Frank Hamer, Hay-Mere. Ranger Hamer was retired and hired to find, apprehend, or Kill Bonnie & Clyde Barrow . Hope this helps! Regards Sir.

[@ThisSmallTown]

Thank you! 😎

[@xopherzenitram]

I also see the potential in the old houses in these towns...if I were younger I'd snatch one up (like the one at 28:17) and restore it!👍

[@annkor26]

This is awesome! Back in the early 80s, I was going to college in Huntsville and to earn money for Christmas, one of my friends got us jobs at the cattle auction barn on the outskirts of Navasota. Not the clean office jobs with the ladies inside, but the dirty job of getting the cattle into the buyers' pen. So I have been to Navasota many times in the past Happy New Year!, but never actually seen the town itself!

[@ThisSmallTown]

Thanks for sharing! That's a great story.

[@Tootsie806]

Cow talk is still a popular place for lunch.

[@1954shadow]

Good to see a town like this, still thriving.

[@elray2446]

You missed the rest of the town.

[@ThisSmallTown]

I hear this often, but the video can only be so long.

[@TheOnlyLittleTexasTornado]

This is my family's hometown.

[@TheOnlyLittleTexasTornado]

My great aunt is one of the real estate agent there and owns alot of property there.

[@TheLightbright01]

We use to go to movie theater there right next to traffic light

[@ifs_fishing]

Get the annual state park pass, do a state park mini series. Fish at all of them.

[@ThisSmallTown]

Yeah, wish I could but state and national parks require expensive permits to film.

[@Carolyn-vo9ln]

Hopefully you went into the hotel and the hidden speakeasy upstairs.

[@ThisSmallTown]

No, definitely missed that unfortunately

[@Austin8thGenTexan]

Navasota had 5 fires in a row that burned everything down - and required buildings to be built out of brick in 1874.

[@ThisSmallTown]

Wow, but that makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

[@Austin8thGenTexan]

@ThisSmallTown Although I have a history degree from Texas State University, I cheated - and looked at the Navasota article on Wikipedia. Keep up the good work! 💪🏾😎👍🏾

[@TheLightbright01]

I grew up in this town

[@TheOnlyLittleTexasTornado]

My great grandpa fought in the war of Washington on the brazos

[@ifs_fishing]

Goliad, a ton of history

[@ThisSmallTown]

Already on my to-do list. 😎

[@CourtneyKing-ln7kq]

Frank hamer stole all of clyde's m9ney from the trunk of his cr. Shortly after the ambush he paid cash for a 300 acre farm and had aa new barn bilt on it.

[@ThisSmallTown]

Well that wasn't in the plaque.😂😂😂

[@TheOnlyLittleTexasTornado]

Stubborn bbq sauce the man the started it us from navasota tx

[@pitsmcgoo]

Frank Hamer led the posse that killed Bonnie and Clyde.

[@ThisSmallTown]

Yeah I read that!

[@nomijbchance5860]

This is a terrible presentation. When you visit a small town it might be a good idea to ask a local about the town. I am a from this area. This is an awful ‘tour’. You missed a lot.

[@ThisSmallTown]

I appreciate the feedback, but I don't really talk to locals in my videos. That's not my content.

[@sammyday3341]

A whiner, I see.

[@shawnkmiec7005]

Local here as well and I think you did a great presentation!

[@ThisSmallTown]

Thanks for the feedback, but that's not my content or niche on this channel.
