Exploring St. Francisville, Louisiana Tour (Mississippi Road Trip, Part 4)

Рет қаралды 36,500

Күн бұрын

In today's video, Free Tours by Foot New Orleans guides Robi and Andrew and cameraman James show you around their hometown and one of the most interesting small towns out there, St. Francisville. MORE VIDEOS IN THIS SERIES • Mississippi River Road...
Despite being a town of just a few thousand people, St. Francisville is a standout in many ways - it's home to a meditation park with a Japanese-American garden, live music, and art scenes, the largest bald cypress tree in the eastern US, plantation homes both well-preserved and ruinous, an infamous prison, and the biannual rodeo that prison hosts for the public.
This is the fourth installment of our 5-part NOLA to Natchez Road Trip series. Episodes release weekly on Tuesdays.
If you enjoyed the episode, please consider 💰 leaving Andrew and Robi a TIP at www.buymeacoffee.com/andrewfa... (no account necessary) or venmo.com/Andrew-Farrier or www.paypal.com/paypalme/andre.... Andrew's “Cashtag” is $AndrewDFarrier. Include the words "road trip" in your comment and whatever you give will be shared between them.

I'm from St. Francisville and have been pretty homesick living in Utah. I found this video and it completely fixed it! Hearing y'all talk about little town anecdotes like Alex the Macaw and the open tomb in the graveyard (which used to not have a door and we would dare people to climb down), made me so nostalgic and grateful that's where I grew up. I also appreciated how much y'all reflected on the minority populations throughout history like Julius Freehan and the Old Benevolent Society. We should all work together to help the community tell these stories with more frequency and honesty! It's such a unique place that you don't realize when you are young. When the cabildo was abandoned we used to play house in there and never knew what it was used for. Now I work in politics and am obsessed with history, and I'm only just now realizing it's because my childhood was filled with soooo much history!

This is Rutherford again. I will gladly let you all guide me through Nouvelle Orleans! I’m sure you’re familiar with the history of the Canary Islanders that settled in Louisiana in the late 18th century? I’m of Spanish descent myself, and I have ancestors that served under the Spanish Viceroyalty in the Cabildo.

I believe Martha Turnbull’s grave was so small was because of their severely diminished wealth comparatively and he died right at the beginning of the war. She kept that plantation when most lost and with the help of her daughters and Martha’s horticulture skills sold vegetables, fruits etc and even 5 cent tours of the house. What resourcefulness! I would say that was the reason for such a humble grave when years before they were one of the wealthiest people in the country, certainly the south. I researched Rosedown extensively and lived in st Francisville and though I’ve not lived there for years I have a bond and will always miss it. The most beautiful place in Louisiana. Thank you for your lovely video and walking tour

I visited St. Francisville with my wife and kids last year. We didn’t get to spend near enough time exploring. Rose Down was….. tragically beautiful, and easily the most fascinating. The kids were more interested in Bob the plantation cat. Seeing the heavily worn original slave stairs that gave access to the second story was extremely impactful and emotional. We plan on visiting New Orleans this year. Will definitely be looking you guys up.

I visited here back in the 1970's and stayed at hotel and loved my visit and the ghosts did not bother me at all.

Carol Sutton made her film debut in "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman" (1974, dir. John Korty), based on the novel by Ernest J. Gaines. She did not appear in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie' (1969, dir. Ronald Neame), based on the novel by Muriel Spark. Ms. Sutton died in 2020, and is interred at Mount Olivet Cemetery in New Orleans.

That area also has some great offroading locations that attract Jeep and 4X4 owners. One of them being the sheriff's property behind his home.

My girlfriend and I stayed overnight in the Judge Woodruff suite at Myrtles in early June '21. Sadly we did not see your awesome KZfaq tour of St. Francisville so that we could visit the wonderful Hemingbough public garden (2:50). Gives us a reason to visit again soon. Hopefully Chloe will let my girlfriend see her this time. In my case, all I heard was a woman's laughter right behind me while I was alone in the suite and all the windows and doors were closed...

Hey guys! I recently discovered your channel and have become a huge fan. I am going back and watching al the videos. I am sure that someone has pointed this out but The Prime of Miss Jean Brody is a film with Maggy Smith. (She won the oscar from that role). Carol Sutton was in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. An equally fantastic movie but very different. LOL Keep up the great work!

I had the pleasure and honor of visiting St Francisville while on a cruise on the American Queen Steamboat. I wish I could of seen this video before that trip. I learned so much from you guys. You could make a 5 video tour of just this town! Where were all the people? It looked like a ghost town. We can find ruins, small towns, and interesting history in each and every state and county/parrish/borough across the country. Finding out about them is the problem. Keep up the good work! I will be in New Orleans in March 2022. I will check your tours out thanks to these videos.

I took your challenge and looked it up, you're right. I found this on the Forbes website, "...If you’re feeling petulant, it’s the Czech Republic. If you want to be cool, it’s Czechia (pronounced Che-ki-ya)." The website went on to talk about short-form country names and long-form names, i.e. France vs. the Republic of France. You taught me something new, thanks.

Oh my gosh, I own a pair of Grandmother's Buttons earrings: 1880s buttons. I've had them for years; I bought them at an antique/gallery mall in the central Indiana city where I live. Finger wagging at James: After Andrew waxed poetic about the Methodist church steeple, we never got to see it! :-( On the other hand, the videography at the cemetery is stunning (okay, except for the very, very last shot--I think the term for that one is stunned, rather than stunning; I hope James was okay).

They don't want to admit to the atrocities of slavery in America. They want to write it out and erase it. Slaves built America and there isn't one national monument that wasn't built by slaves. The towns and cities same thing. Universities same thing. Slavery in America is as American as apple pie. I love having Robie's perspective and the other tour guides never try to belittle or make his experience smaller or less than. I love that and thank you because that doesn't happen for us very often.🥰🥰
