Ellis County, Texas

The story

Built 1855 by Jefferson Madison Dunaway for his bride, Sarah Ann Brack. Stone for chimneys came from the nearby creek banks. Cypress wood was used in structure.

Two later generations of the family have lived here: The households of Jefferson Richard ("Jeff") Dunaway and of Richard Waldo Dunaway.

Hear thousands of these as you drive.

Duane reads Texas historical markers out loud, hands-free, in his own voice. Join early access and we'll tell you the moment he's ready to ride.
