RV Living & Traveling Full Time - Gone with the Wind Museum in Jefferson, Texas

Gone with the Wind!

1/27/2020

Thursday, October 31, 2019 -- We took General to Jefferson and we all walked on the Turn Basin Trail, which starts near the Visitor Center and follows Big Cypress Bayou over the the Marion County Chamber of Commerce building.

The path is right next to this old train trestle, which they light up at night. But we kept forgetting to come back in the evening to see it!

And the small park had some really awesome looking plants in it!

Back near the Visitor Center, there is a half-size train that you can take tours on. It takes you back in the woods near the Bayou, and actually stops for a little bit at an alligator farm where you can watch them feeding the alligators.
