This is Memorial Park, one of the largest urban parks in America, and one of the most popular parks in the City of Houston.From 1917 to 1923, this was Camp Logan, a world war 1 US Army Training camp with a tumultuous history in itself, and if you know where to look, you can still find the remnants of the encampment that once stood here.

Back in the 70's I used to run the track that is there in Memorial Park on Sundays. In all honesty I didn't know about the history so thank you very much.

Racial unrest and a pandemic sounds like 2020. For all that changes sadly much stays the same. I learned so much I didn't know about my own city. Great job!

Been living here since the 1970’s. I love your stuff. Everywhere we are, we live on the remnants of those who came before but it is fascinating when it hits this close to home. Thanks for all your excellent content!

That is a fascinating history, despite it's being sordid in spots. People were different back then. I see the Memorial Park area very differently now. Thanks for doing all that research and even walking around, finding the foundations and sewer pipes.

Hey Scott, I found the water tower and the bridge support as well. I've since made videos on them.

Was not Houstons only Military Camp, in the Civil War we had a camp at Brays and Buffalo Bayou for the Confederate Army.

My great great grandfather was at Camp at the confluence of Sims and Buffalo Bayou. They were horse soldiers, 12Tx.Cav. Would patrol down what became Galveston Road. The ladies of Houston gifted the regiment a flag to have for the Christmas parade of'61. I've seen the flag at the Hillsboro College Confederate Research Center, it's a black St. Andrews Cross with a larger star at the intersection than the rest. No white trim, and the four red triangles. They kept the yankees outta Texas, by fighting in Arkansas &Louisiana!

Dude. I found it. Thanks for everything.

@evinchester7820 2 года назад

I'm was born and raised in Houston. In Spring Branch, not far from the park. I knew about the riot. But did not know where the camp was located. Knew the Hogg family had bought it.

@DangerDays05 3 года назад

Could you make a video about the abandoned building by the downtown transit center? The one on St Joseph Pkwy between Travis and Milam

@ScottDaileyYOUTUBE 3 года назад

Hi Evelyn, I believe the building you're talking about is this one, and yes I should add it to the list!: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dMJS1YbkVks.html

@gradplanner 3 года назад

Which trail did you use to reach the remnants? I just walked the purple trail all the way to the railroad bridge.

@ScottDaileyYOUTUBE 3 года назад

The best way to find them is to walk under the power lines Northeast of where Memorial crosses them. You can see them from the road/trail that follows the lines - all north of Memorial Dr.
